EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken at the picturesque French Riviera town of Antibes in 1930, Lady Nada (Marchioness of Milford Haven) and Gloria Vanderbilt, two prominent figures of American and British high society, are seen enjoying a leisurely day by the sea. The image captures the essence of the glamorous and carefree lifestyle of the elite during the interwar period. Nada, the former Countess of Torby and later Marchioness of Milford Haven (1896-1963), is depicted at the back of the photograph, engaging in conversation with Lady Bower Smith, while Gloria Vanderbilt (1904-1990) lies on a sunbed, soaking up the sun and the Mediterranean atmosphere. The relationship between Nada and Gloria was the subject of much gossip and speculation during this time, particularly during Gloria's bitter custody battle over her daughter, Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt, in 1934. Despite the rumors, the two women remained close friends, and their bond is evident in this photograph as they share a moment of camaraderie and relaxation. The setting of Antibes, with its stunning coastline, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant art scene, was a popular destination for the wealthy and famous during the 1920s and 1930s. This photograph offers a glimpse into the luxurious and sophisticated world of the European and American aristocracy, as well as the complex dynamics of their personal relationships. This evocative image is a testament to the enduring allure of the French Riviera and the intriguing history of two remarkable women whose lives intersected during a pivotal moment in time.
