EDITORS COMMENTS
This Sketch cover image features Irene Foote Castle (later known as Irene and Vernon Castle), the renowned American dancer and her husband Vernon Castle, affectionately referred to as "America's Dancing Sweethearts." The photograph, taken in 1918, showcases Irene in her iconic "The Spirit of France" costume, which she wore during a patriotic matinee performance at the Palace Theatre in London. The event, held on October 15, 1918, was attended by Marshal Joffre, and the proceeds were donated to various war charities. The tableaux in which Irene performed was designed by Ben Ali Haggin, an acclaimed American portrait painter and pageant master. This symbolic performance marked a significant moment in history, as the First World War was drawing to a close, and the spirit of unity and support for the war effort was palpable. Irene's elegant and graceful appearance in this image encapsulates the essence of the period, with her flowing costume and expressive pose embodying the spirit of France and the hope for a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the patriotic efforts and the powerful impact of art and performance during times of war.
