Comment

We are told that Isadora Klein lived in Grosvenor Square, in ‘one of the finest corner houses of the West End’. Although most of the prestigious houses were rebuilt in a neo-Georgian style in the 20^th century this gives an idea of the opulence that could be enjoyed by ‘the richest as well as the most lovely widow upon earth’.
