EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs. Peter Smith-Dorrien, formerly known as Miss Bridget Liddell, poses elegantly with her dachshund in this striking photograph taken by the renowned British portrait photographer Madame Yevonde in 1931. The image, published in The Sketch magazine, showcases Mrs. Smith-Dorrien's impeccable style and trendsetting fashion sense. The chic outfit she wears, a checked suit, was described as 'one of Fashion's last words' by the magazine, making it a must-have for the fashion-forward women of the 1930s. The monochrome palette of the suit, with its contrasting checks in black and white, adds to its timeless appeal. The dachshund, a popular pet breed during the 1930s, complements Mrs. Smith-Dorrien's outfit perfectly. The dog's sleek coat and serious expression add a playful touch to the sophisticated image. The photograph, taken during the golden age of society portraiture, captures the essence of the era's fashion and style. Madame Yevonde, known for her innovative and artistic approach to portrait photography, expertly captures the essence of her subject and her pet. The use of natural light and the simple yet effective backdrop add to the image's understated elegance. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of classic fashion and the art of portrait photography.
