A Madame Yevonde portrait of Mrs Constant Lambert

Mrs Constant Lambert, formerly Miss Florence Kaye, was the wife of Mr Constant Lambert, the English composer. Mr Lambert was the first English composer commissioned to write a ballet for the Russian Ballet- Romeo and Juliet. Madame Yevonde was a prolific and ground-breaking society portrait and commercial photographer active between 1915 and 1975. She is particularly well-known for her astonishingly modern work using the Vivex colour process during the 1930's. Her images of society folk and other personalities appeared regularly in The Sketch or The Tatler through the 1920s and 30's
