EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a group of notable personalities are seen enjoying a leisurely afternoon at the beach bar in Biarritz, France, during the fashionable 1930s. The elegant setting of the beachside establishment is the perfect backdrop for this assemblage of high society figures. On the left, Mr. and Mrs. Ormond Lawson-Johnston, dressed in chic summer attire, engage in animated conversation. Mrs. Lawson-Johnston's elegant hat and Mr. Lawson-Johnston's stylish suit and panama hat exude an air of sophistication. Next to them, Lady Furness, later known as the Duchess of Windsor, captivates the attention of the group with her radiant smile and striking beauty. She is dressed in a stylish two-piece swimsuit and a large sun hat, accessorized with a pearl necklace and bracelet. Miss Leary, a young woman with an enchanting smile, sits next to Lady Furness, wearing a floral sundress and a sun hat adorned with a large bow. She seems to be deeply engrossed in a book, providing a contrast to the lively energy of the rest of the group. The Marquis de Burmillo completes the scene, standing behind the group with a drink in hand and a confident expression on his face. His formal attire, complete with a top hat, sets him apart from the more casual beachwear of the others. This photograph captures a moment in time when Biarritz was a popular destination for the European elite, and the beach bar was the place to be seen. The group's relaxed and carefree demeanor speaks to the glamour and allure of the French Riviera in the 1930s.
