EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by the renowned British portrait photographer Madame Yevonde, showcases Vera Poliakoff in the role of Mary Norton, Lady-in-Waiting, in Clifford Bax's play, The Rose Without a Thorn, which was staged at the Duchess Theatre in London during 1932. Vera, who was married to Basil Burton, is depicted in an exquisite Tudor-era costume, complete with a voluminous gown and a headdress adorned with pearls and feathers. The play, set in the court of King Henry VIII, transported audiences back in time to an era of opulence and intrigue. In this image, Vera is seen engrossed in a book, perhaps preparing for her role or reflecting on the drama unfolding on stage. The expression on her face conveys a sense of deep concentration and intensity, adding to the allure of the character she portrays. The play's title, The Rose Without a Thorn, is a reference to the tragic theme of lost love and unrequited affection, which resonated with audiences during the 1930s, a time of great social and political change. Madame Yevonde's masterful use of lighting and composition captures the essence of Vera's performance, making this photograph a testament to the power of theatre and the art of acting during this fascinating historical period.
