EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Nancy Mitford, the renowned British novelist, is seen in the company of her cherished friend, Rosemary Hope-Vere, later known as Mrs. Drury Lowe. The image, captured in 1931, finds the two women at ease in the comfort of Mrs. Drury Lowe's London residence located on Gloucester Place. Nancy Mitford, born on February 28, 1904, was a distinguished author, journalist, and socialite, best known for her witty and satirical novels such as "The Pursuit of Love" and "Love in a Cold Climate." Her novels often depicted the lives of the British upper class, and her unique writing style earned her a place among the celebrated "Bright Young Things" of the 1920s and 1930s. Mrs. Drury Lowe, born Rosemary Hope-Vere on March 2, 1905, was an English socialite and the former wife of Sir John Drury Lowe. The friendship between the two women is believed to have blossomed during their youth, and they remained close companions throughout their lives. The photograph captures the essence of their camaraderie and shared sense of humor. Nancy Mitford, dressed in a stylish yet understated outfit, gazes intently at the camera with a mischievous smile, while Mrs. Drury Lowe, seated beside her, looks playfully away, her hands folded demurely in her lap. The warm, inviting atmosphere of Mrs. Drury Lowe's home is reflected in the soft lighting and the comfortable seating arrangements. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring bond between two remarkable women, whose friendship transcended the boundaries of class and social status. It offers a glimpse into a bygone era, where the simple pleasure of good company and heartfelt conversation held immense value.
