Suzanne Mayfair

Bruno Vergauwen has captured the start of the Mayfair story with this image of Suzanne of the May Fair standing in the forest around Donnelaith, Scotland. Is the fire reflected in the pool a prediction of her future or the future power of the Mayfair Witches?

Deborah Mayfair

Suzanne's daughter Deborah commissioned the Mayfair Emerald when she settled in Amsterdam. She is seen here in her home wearing the emerald necklace. Behind her hangs her portrait by Rembrandt van Rijn.

Charlotte Mayfair

Illustration of Deborah's daughter Charlotte wearing the Mayfair Emerald around her neck while holding her twins - Jeanne Louise and Peter Mayfair. She is seen here in the fields of their new plantation on Saint-Domingue.

Marie Claudette Mayfair

This image evokes a feeling of the Mayfairs leaving Saint Domingue as it burns. The household is packed up and they're ready to leave the plantation behind as they turn their faces to New Orleans.
