EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a rare glimpse into the private life of Mrs. Simpson, the future Duchess of Windsor. Taken by an English photographer in the 1930s, this image showcases Mrs. Simpson at home, providing us with a fascinating insight into her world. The photograph depicts Mrs. Simpson in her elegant flat at Bryanston Court in Mayfair, Marylebone. The interior decoration exudes sophistication and charm, with antique furniture adding to the timeless ambiance of the room. The living and dining area is tastefully adorned with beautiful flowers that bring life to the space. As we observe this intimate scene, we can't help but be reminded of the historical significance surrounding Mrs. Simpson's story. This woman would later become known for her role in one of Britain's most notorious crises - the abdication crisis of King Edward VIII. Through this photo print, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in history when love triumphed over duty and tradition was challenged by personal desire. It serves as a reminder that even those who find themselves at odds with society can still create spaces filled with beauty and grace within their own homes. With its exquisite composition and attention to detail, this image offers us a window into both past elegance and enduring human emotions – making it an invaluable piece of historical documentation captured through lens by Herman Schrijver for Weekly Illustrated on December 12th, 1936.
