Mr and Mrs William Bromley Davenport are shown here at home at Capesthorne Hall, in Cheshire, with their son, Nicholas, and their grandchildren, Millie, Harry and Tom. The Bromley Davenports have a long tradition of private country-house theatricals and their 19th-century theatre is described in our article on page 42.

This is an authentic original page from Country Life magazine, part of the iconic series often affectionately referred to as the “Girls in Pearls” portraits — elegant society images that captured a distinctive era of British publishing and portraiture.

Size: Approximately 12.5 x 9 inches (32 x 23 cm)

Condition: Very good for its age. As with all vintage magazine pages, light signs of handling or minor age-related blemishes may be present. Please review the large photo carefully for full condition details. The reverse side contains unrelated printed text, as issued.

This original Country Life Magazine frontispiece portrait forms part of The Old Map Shop’s curated archive of society portraits published between 1897 and 2026.
