    That would be Mrs. Arthur Scott-Burden--she was an heiress and an equestrian champion in the 1910s. She was formerly the Honorable Cynthia Burke Roche, of London (1884-1966); her maternal grandfather was a protegee of Cornelius Vanderbilt. After Scott-Burden (b. 1879) died in a 1921 polo accident, she remarried in 1922, to Guy Fairfax Cary. Mrs. Scott-Burden's brother, Edmund Maurice Burke Roche (1885-1955), was the grandfather of Diana Spencer.

    Speak of the devil, we have a photo on here of this fellow called Maurice Roche, might he be the same brother? www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2163448066/in/s...

    What a complicated way to dress. Glad fashion has evolved.
  • EspressoBuzz said:
    Wow. The image is so clean and crisp. Looks like it was shot recently. Amazing to imagine that she had no idea what she'd see in her lifetime (WW1, etc).

    What an amazing photo of Evelyn Nesbit! Thank you, Library of Congress.
  • Nathan Adams said:
    Her name was Evelyn Nesbit. She was a chorus girl who had relationships with Stanford White, John Barrymore, & the rather unstable Mr. Thaw. During a performance one night, Thaw shot Stanford White in the face three times, killing him instantly. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evelyn_Nesbit

    No wonder she had affairs. She's quite attractive. I wonder what she's doing tomorrow night? Do you have her email address?
