EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Margaret Joan Lascelles, Countess Desart, in the intimate moment of drawing the curtains in her elegant Victorian drawing room. Dressed in an exquisite gown and adorned with a delicate pearl necklace, the Countess exudes an air of refinement and grace. Her expressive face is focused intently on the task at hand, her hands gloved and poised to part the heavy velvet curtains, revealing the soft morning light filtering through the window. Margaret Joan Lascelles was the daughter of the 6th Earl of Harewood and Lady Florence Dudley. In 1888, she married Hamilton John, the fifth Earl of Desart, in a grand ceremony held at St. George's Hanover Square in London. The couple's marriage was celebrated in society pages and marked the beginning of a new chapter in the Earl of Desart's life. The photograph, taken circa 1888, offers a glimpse into the daily life of a Victorian aristocrat. The room is adorned with ornate furnishings, including a grand fireplace, intricately patterned wallpaper, and a beautifully carved wooden mantelpiece. The Countess's attention to detail and elegant demeanor are on full display, making this image a fascinating window into the past. Margaret Joan Lascelles, Countess Desart, was known for her beauty, charm, and intelligence. She was a patron of the arts and a prominent figure in London society, often attending high-profile events and charitable functions. Her marriage to the Earl of Desart brought her into the inner circles of the British aristocracy, and she went on to become a respected and beloved member of the community. This photograph is a testament to the elegance and sophistication of the Victorian era and offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who left an indelible mark on history.
