EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the elegance and grace of Ethel Anne Priscilla Grenfell, Lady Desborough (1867-1952), an esteemed Edwardian society hostess and mother of two renowned sons, Julian and Gerald William (Billy) Grenfell. The photograph, taken in 1913, graced the front cover of Bystander magazine, showcasing Lady Desborough's refined beauty and poised demeanor. Born into the prominent Fane family, Ettie Grenfell was known for her exceptional hosting skills and captivating charm. Her salon at 14 Belgrave Square in London was a hub of high society, where luminaries of art, literature, and politics gathered to engage in stimulating conversations and enjoy her warm hospitality. Her two sons, Julian and Gerald William, shared their mother's charisma and were deeply involved in the cultural and social scene of their time. Tragically, both were killed during the First World War, leaving an indelible mark on their mother's life. This evocative image serves as a poignant reminder of the Edwardian era's opulence and sophistication, as well as the profound impact of war on the lives of the elite. Lady Desborough's resilience and enduring legacy continue to inspire and fascinate historians and enthusiasts of the era.
