Description
This famous Hood Ornament was fashioned after Eleanor Velasco Thornton also known as "Thorn", who was the secretary and secret love of John Walter Edward Douglas Scott-Montagu (the second Baron Montagu of Beaulieu), the editor of The Car Illustrated magazine. She was killed in 1915 when the SS Persia was torpedoed by a U-boat south of Crete. This figure was sculpted in her memory.
