EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the radiant beauty and charisma of Iris Lockwood during her performance in the London Hippodrome revue, "Get a Load of This," in 1941. Iris Lockwood, an actress and model, was later to become the wife of renowned theatre director and producer Robert Nesbitt. The photograph showcases Iris in an elegant satin evening gown designed by the celebrated British fashion designer, Norman Hartnell. The intricate detailing of the dress, with its subtle sheen and flowing lines, perfectly complements Iris's graceful figure. The image is further enhanced by the dramatic feather headdress that sits atop her glossy, wartime-styled bob. The London Hippodrome was a popular venue for variety shows and revues during the 1940s, providing much-needed entertainment for the British public during the trying times of World War II. Iris Lockwood's performance in "Get a Load of This" was a testament to the resilient spirit of the British people, who continued to find joy and beauty in the midst of adversity. This photograph is a stunning example of the glamour and elegance of the wartime theatre scene, and serves as a reminder of the power of art and entertainment to uplift and inspire. Norman Hartnell's designs were renowned for their sophistication and elegance, and this dress, with its timeless beauty, is a testament to his skill and vision. Iris Lockwood's performance in "Get a Load of This" at the London Hippodrome remains an enduring symbol of the indomitable spirit of the British people during World War II.
