EDITORS COMMENTS
This elegant photograph captures the radiant beauty and poised grace of Mildred Acheson, nee Carter, on her wedding day to Archibald Acheson, 2nd Earl of Gosford, in 1910. Two years prior to this joyous occasion, Mildred had been immortalized in a painting by the renowned American artist John Singer Sargent, titled 'Portrait of Mildred.' The painting, now known as 'Portrait of Mildred Carter,' was completed in 1908 and showcases the young socialite with her eyes downcast and averted, a lacy veil covering her cascading chestnut curls. In this photograph, Mildred's bridal attire is a striking contrast to her earlier portrait. Her ivory satin wedding gown, adorned with intricate lace detailing, is complemented by a delicate veil of tulle and lace, and a bouquet of lilies in her hand. The Earl of Gosford, dressed in his formal attire, stands proudly by her side, gazing lovingly into her eyes. As a prominent American socialite, Mildred's wedding was a highly anticipated event in society circles, and this photograph captures the elegance and grandeur of the occasion. The image is a testament to the beauty and allure of the bride, as well as the excitement and joy of her marriage to a British peer. The photograph, taken in the early 1910s, is a precious keepsake of a bygone era, evoking the glamour and sophistication of the early 20th century.
