Sepia-toned full length portrait photograph of Mary Batterman Booth wearing the dress gown she wore for her introduction to the court of the King and Queen of England on May 19, 1931. She holds an ostrich feather fan down to her side. "The ass. press people chose the other one. Had them taken at 11 am the morning Mon. May 18 so they had to work fast to give me two proofs. Dorothy Wilding won't have any proofs ready for two weeks. Do tell me how you like these? Gown jewels & fan were all so much better & more brilliant in reality." is handwritten on the verso.
