EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Lady Diana Manners, later Lady Diana Cooper, in the year 1915, as she embarked on her journey towards becoming a nurse. Born into English nobility as the eldest daughter of the Duke of Rutland, Lady Diana's life was destined for greatness beyond the confines of her aristocratic upbringing. At the time this portrait was taken, Lady Diana was reportedly undergoing training at Guy's Hospital in London. The image reveals a young woman of striking beauty and poise, her piercing gaze fixed on the camera lens with an air of determination and resolve. Her simple yet elegant attire, consisting of a high-necked blouse and a long, flowing skirt, further emphasizes her refined and sophisticated demeanor. However, Lady Diana's nursing career was not to last long, as she was soon married to the charismatic Duff Cooper in 1917. The couple went on to lead a life filled with glamour and intrigue, both in England and abroad. Despite her new role as a society figure, Lady Diana continued to demonstrate her compassionate nature by nursing her family and friends during times of need, including at their ancestral seat, Belvoir Castle in Rutland. This evocative portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who defied the expectations of her aristocratic background and made a significant impact on society, both as a nurse and an actress, as well as a devoted wife and mother. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era and the indomitable spirit of Lady Diana Cooper, who continues to captivate and inspire generations.
