EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting Mlle Gregoritz, a woman whose appearance exudes an undeniable English charm. However, there is nothing truly English about her except for her stunning looks. This intriguing image gained significant attention in Vienna during a unique competition organized by a popular weekly journal. The competition involved publishing portraits of 12 girls from different countries, challenging readers to guess their nationalities. A generous cash prize awaited those who could correctly identify all the individuals shown. Surprisingly, despite Mlle Gregoritz being an elegant Viennese lady, more than 80 percent of voters confidently labeled her as English. This unexpected outcome led to considerable notoriety for Mlle Gregoritz and sparked discussions among the participants. The photograph itself reflects the fashion trends of the time with its monochrome composition and timeless elegance. Taken on March 19th, 1927, this image transports us back to Europe between the wars when society was captivated by beauty and mystery. Madame Dora Kallmus skillfully captured Mlle Gregoritz's allure through her lens, showcasing both her Viennese heritage and international appeal.
