29 de out. de 2023 · Who was Mary, Lady Curzon? Mary Curzon, Vicereine of India, has long been viewed as the beautiful wife and perfect companion to her husband George Nathaniel Curzon. But there was much more to her than the glamour, grace and beauty that she undoubtedly possessed and which is evident in the portraits of her in the collection at Kedleston.
In January 1899 George Curzon was appointed Viceroy of India, giving Mary the honor of holding the highest political position ever gained by an American woman. Tragically, after a long illness, Mary died at age 36 in 1906. Mary was known for her beauty, and the owner of many stylish gowns.
Mary was the daughter of Levi Z. Leiter, co-founder of the Marshall Field & Company retail empire. Six-foot-tall, beautiful and intelligent, Mary was a society favourite in both Great Britain and the USA. She fell in love with George Curzon, declaring 'I will have him, because I believe he needs me. I have no shame', and they married in 1895.
