Footnotes

Marion was often photographed by Cecil Beaton for Vogue and Vanity Fair in the 1920s and 1930s. In Beaton's own words, 'It was not until Miss Marion Morehouse was discovered by Steichen that photographic models became so well known that they exerted an influence on the public [...] with her particularly personal ways of twisting her neck, her fingers and feet, was at home in the grandest circumstances'.
