41. ADOLPH DE MEYER (1868–1946) Natica Nast, Vogue, January 15th, 1920

Vintage silver print, warm-toned
24 x 19 cm
Annotated “Condé Nast” in pencil, most likely by the photographer, on the reverse

This charming picture of Natica Nast, Condé Nast's daughter, was originally published in the January 1920 Vogue. The dainty floral crown, filmy veil and light-as-a-feather gown are evocative of more innocent time.
"During this period of productive work for Vogue, Clarisse also used her fifteen-year-old daughter to model wedding veils, arguing that no professional model looked innocent enough to create the right virginal effect. (The couturier Tappé complained about having to make the gown small enough to fit Natica, saying he would not be able to sell it afterward; but a few months later it adorned the dainty figure of Mary Pickford in a radiantly lit Vogue portrait by de Meyer; Miss Pickford wore the dress for her marriage to Douglas Fairbanks.)"
