Yvonne Gregory (1889-1970) was a British society photographer.
Gregory married fellow photographer Bertram Park in 1916.[1] Gregory, Park and Marcus Adams established themselves as the "Three Photographers" and based their collective studio at 43 Dover Street in Mayfair.[2][3] Their studio was initially funded by the Egyptologist George Herbert, 5th Earl of Carnarvon.[1] Gregory and Park would collaborate on works, and Gregory would also pose for Park.[4]...
Park and Gregory published several books together including 1935's The Beauty of the Female Form.[4] The book arose from work they had produced for the first international photographic salon, held in Paris in 1933
Mary Innes-Ker, Duchess of Roxburghe (23 March 1915 – 2 July 2014), previously Lady Mary Evelyn Hungerford Crewe-Milnes, [1] was a daughter of Robert Crewe-Milnes, 1st Marquess of Crewe, by his marriage to Lady Margaret Etienne Hannah (Peggy) Primrose, daughter of Hannah Primrose, Countess of Rosebery, and Archibald Primrose, 5th Earl of Rosebery.
A goddaughter of King George V, [2] she was the first wife of George Innes-Ker, 9th Duke of Roxburghe.[3] They were married on 24 October 1935, at Westminster Abbey, but divorced in 1953. According to The Daily Telegraph, she was best known for resisting the attempts of her husband to evict her from the family home, Floors Castle.[4]
In 1967 her mother died and left the Duchess an estate at West Horsley, Surrey, including West Horsley Place, a large country house dating from the 16th century.[4] On her own death, this was inherited by her grandnephew Bamber Gascoigne, the grandson of her much older half-sister Lady Annabel Hungerford Crewe-Milnes.[5] In her will, the Duchess also bequeathed her family's collection of over 7500 books, including major and hitherto unknown works of English and French literature, to the library of Trinity College, Cambridge, where both her father and grandfather had studied.[6] Among the books was discovered a first edition of The Faerie Queene, which had been inscribed by Charles I during his imprisonment
