EDITORS COMMENTS
Miss Myrtle Farquarson, the elder daughter of Lieut.-Colonel and Mrs. A.H. Farquarson, poses elegantly for her portrait captured by the renowned British photographer Madame Yevonde in 1923. The photograph showcases Miss Farquarson standing gracefully before an ornate mirror, her reflection creating a mesmerizing double image. The intricately designed chair she sits on adds an element of sophistication and luxury to the image. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, was a decade marked by cultural and social change, and this portrait beautifully encapsulates the spirit of the era. The fashion of the time is evident in Miss Farquarson's attire, with her long, flowing dress and intricate beading, which were popular trends during this period. Madame Yevonde, whose real name was Evelyn Mary Billington, was a pioneering figure in the world of portrait photography. Known for her innovative use of lighting and dramatic effects, she created stunning images that captured the essence of her subjects. In this portrait, she has used the mirror to create a sense of depth and intrigue, drawing the viewer in and inviting them to explore the image further. Miss Myrtle Farquarson's portrait is a testament to the beauty and elegance of the 1920s, and a reminder of the enduring power of a well-crafted photograph to transport us to another time and place.
