Description | The Sketch front cover: Mrs Ernest Simpson |
Details |
Front cover of The Sketch magazine in March 1935, featuring a portrait by Dorothy Wilding of Mrs Ernest (Wallis) Simpson. The caption reads: 'Mrs Simpson is the beautiful wife of Mr. Ernest Simpson, and is one of the many attractive Americans in London society. She was formerly Miss Wallis-Warfield of Baltimore, U.S.A, and is the sister-in-law of Mrs. Peter Kerr-Smiley. Her centre parting and the chic simplicity of her dress are well-suited to her type of good looks'. Wallis would eventually become the Duchess of Windsor when King Edward VIII abdicated the throne in December 1936 in order to marry her.
