EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, Miss Olive Dorothea Plunket and Lord Milton, later the 8th Earl Fitzwilliam, gracefully pose for the camera, their engagement freshly announced in 1932. Olive, a young woman of 21 years, wears a stylish knitted jumper and a demure expression, while Lord Milton, the eldest son of the 7th Earl Fitzwilliam, dons a formal suit and a confident smile. The photograph was taken by the renowned British portrait photographer, Madame Yevonde, who expertly captured the elegance and refinement of this aristocratic couple. Lord Milton, William Henry Lawrence Peter Wentworth-Fitzwilliam, would go on to marry Olive in the same year, beginning a lifelong partnership that would be marked by their status as members of the British peerage. In 1943, Lord Milton inherited the title of Earl Fitzwilliam upon the death of his father. This photograph is a captivating glimpse into the world of the British aristocracy during the 1930s, a time of elegance, tradition, and social hierarchy. The couple's engagement and eventual marriage were likely the subject of much excitement and speculation within their social circle, and this portrait serves as a testament to their love and commitment to one another. The 1930s were a time of great change in the world, with the rise of fascist regimes in Europe and the looming threat of World War II. Amidst this turmoil, the lives of the aristocracy continued, with their traditions and social norms providing a sense of stability and continuity. This photograph offers a glimpse into that world, a world of elegance, refinement, and tradition that has long since passed. Madame Yevonde's masterful use of light and shadow, as well as her ability to capture the essence of her subjects, make this portrait a true work of art. It is a reminder of a bygone era, a time of elegance and tradition that continues to fascinate and inspire us today.
