Lady Dufferin, formerly known as Veronica Sackville-West, is seen here with her husband, the Honorable Charles Somerset, and their only daughter, Lady Veronica Somerset, who was married to Anthony Hornby in 1931.

Her innovative use of the Vivex colour process during this period resulted in images that were strikingly modern and vibrant, setting her apart from her contemporaries. Lady Dufferin and her family were among the many prominent figures whose portraits graced the pages of popular British publications such as The Sketch and The Tatler. With her keen eye for capturing the essence of her subjects and her ability to bring out their unique personalities, Madame Yevonde left an indelible mark on the world of photography.
