EDITORS COMMENTS
Miss Vida Cuthbert, a striking young debutante of the 1930s, poses gracefully for renowned British photographer Madame Yevonde in this elegant black and white portrait. Born in 1912, Miss Cuthbert was the cherished daughter of the late Captain James Harold Cuthbert, a distinguished officer in the Scots Guards. The regal bearing and poised demeanor of Miss Cuthbert reflect the refined upbringing and social status of her family. The 1930s, also known as the "Golden Age of Debutantes," was a time of glamour and opulence, and debutante balls were the social events of the season. Debutantes, like Miss Cuthbert, were presented to the King or Queen at court, marking their entrance into society and signaling their readiness for marriage. Madame Yevonde, a pioneering figure in British portrait photography, captured the essence of this era with her unique and innovative techniques. In this portrait, she expertly employs dramatic lighting and intricate props to create a timeless and enchanting image. The use of a velvet backdrop and a single red rose adds an air of sophistication and allure, making this photograph a true masterpiece of the 1930s. Miss Vida Cuthbert's captivating presence and the exquisite artistry of Madame Yevonde combine to create an enduring image of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the world of deb balls, high society, and the elegance of the 1930s.
