Mrs Langtry

The Jersey Lily

Lillie's radiant beauty creates a sensation in London's social circles. She is now a 'professional beauty', a fashionable society woman whose every movement becomes a matter of public interest. Lillie graces magazine covers and becomes highly sought after by artists, photographers, writers, hostesses–and visiting dignitary King Leopold of the Belgians. While Lillie is highly celebrated, little do the wags know that this beauty has but one simple black dress to her name.
