Mrs Richard Norton & Lady Brecknock at Monte Carlo beach

A snapshot from Monte Carlo beach showing two well-known beauties - one sunburned quite brown and the other still white-skinned. The Hon. Mrs Richard Norton is the tanned one in the bathing suit, due to the fact that she had been staying in the Riviera for some time and the new arrival, with her cream-and-roses complexion is the Countess of Brecknock, looking chic in a polo shirt, loose trousers and sandals. Date: 1932

In this evocative snapshot from Monte Carlo beach in 1932, two elegant and renowned British women, The Hon. Mrs Richard Norton and the Countess of Brecknock, are captured in a moment of leisurely relaxation. The Hon. Mrs Norton, with her deep, sun-kissed tan, has been enjoying the sunny climes of the French Riviera for some time, as evidenced by her stylish bathing suit and confident, relaxed pose. In stark contrast, the Countess of Brecknock, a new arrival on the scene, maintains her cream-and-roses complexion, shielded from the sun in a chic polo shirt, loose trousers, and sandals. The glamour and sophistication of the aristocracy are on full display in this image, with both women exuding an air of elegance and style. The azure waters of the Mediterranean and the picturesque backdrop of Monte Carlo add to the allure of this idyllic holiday destination. The 1930s were a golden age for the Riviera, with its stunning beaches, luxurious hotels, and vibrant social scene attracting the rich and famous from around the world. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of the French Riviera as a place of beauty, relaxation, and indulgence. The contrasting figures of Mrs Norton and the Countess of Brecknock serve as a reminder of the diverse experiences and adventures that could be had on the Côte d'Azur during this bygone era. Whether sunbathing, swimming, or simply enjoying the company of friends, the Riviera offered a world of possibilities for those fortunate enough to visit.
