Directly above, an invited audience posing attentively at a recital by German soprano Elisabeth Schumann. Front row, left to right – the Austrian Finance Minister, Rudolf Neumayer; deposed Spanish Queen Victoria Eugenia (granddaughter of Queen Victoria); the Austrian Ambassador to Great Britain, Baron von Franckenstein; the Duchess of Kent (Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark); the President of the Austrian National Bank, Dr. Viktor Kienböck; Princess Helena Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein (granddaughter of Queen Victoria), and Mrs. Campbell.
And how, one wonders, did it come about that plain Mrs. Campbell received a seat of honor amongst such heavyweights? Who or what was Mrs. Campbell, leaning forward in her fur shrug and peering sideways? Perhaps there is about to be a murder, and she will reveal the culprit. Perhaps there will be a murder, and she will commit it. One murder connected with this image we do know of. Less than a decade after its creation, the photographer was murdered in Auschwitz.
