This print captures the elegance and opulence of Mme Lychowsky, wife of Captain Lychowsky, as she proudly poses with a stunning spray of flowers. The remarkable aspect lies in the astonishing price tag attached to this floral arrangement - a staggering 8,000,000 Marks! Taken on December 12th, 1922, this portrait showcases Mme Lychowsky's refined taste and her willingness to indulge in luxury. As the wife of Captain Lychowsky from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at Warsaw, her association with such extravagance is not surprising. In today's currency conversion rates, this exorbitant sum would amount to approximately ?100. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to the image while emphasizing the intricate details of both Mme Lychowsky's attire and the exquisite bouquet she holds delicately in her hands. This photograph serves as a window into an era when grand gestures were made through extravagant displays like these. Preserved by Central News and now part of Europeana Photography collection, this snapshot offers us a glimpse into history - an era where wealth was flaunted unapologetically amidst political turmoil and economic uncertainty. It reminds us that even during challenging times, beauty can still be found in unexpected places
