Oh Katenka_Fyodorovna thank so much for sharing such charming photographs! They are wonderful! I love the one of little Louise smiling on the previous page! Goodness, when she smiled it absolutely transformed her face! I wish smiling had been more acceptable in those days as I think that Louise probably would have appeared far more striking if she had been photographed smiling as an adult.
As to the wonderful photograph of Macduff and his girls! Oh my! I have never seen that one before! It is gorgeous! The girls look positively squeezable and edible if you know what I mean! Macduff looks so much like he is in proud 'Big Daddy' mode that one can't help but smile! It is quite striking that although they were so very different in looks, both Alexandra and Maud actually bore very strong similarities inherited from their father and his family. Maud was positively Macduff's 'Mini Me' in a skirt and as Alexandra later said herself, her paternal first cousin Alfred Duff Cooper was her in trousers!
Thanks again for posting such lovely photographic treats!!!!! Anything Louise related sends me into a flap of delight and pleasure!
