EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, taken in 1927, Lady Middleton O'Malley-Keyes (nee Byrnes) (1888-1964) and Lady Horne enjoy a tranquil moment of respite amidst the picturesque beauty of Biarritz, France. Lady O'Malley-Keyes, an American socialite, had made Biarritz her home following her marriage to Middleton O'Malley-Keyes, a British diplomat. The couple's elegant villa, perched on the cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, became the epicenter of Biarritz high society. Lady O'Malley-Keyes, dressed in a chic summer hat and a flowing, floral dress, exudes an air of refinement and sophistication. Her companion, Lady Horne, equally stylishly attired, gazes out at the breathtaking view with a contented expression. The two ladies take a moment to savor their tea in the open air, surrounded by the verdant greenery and the soothing sounds of the waves crashing against the shore. Biarritz, with its balmy climate and stunning coastline, was a popular destination for the European elite during the 1920s. Lady O'Malley-Keyes and her husband played host to numerous glamorous soirees, attracting the likes of royalty, aristocrats, and celebrities. This photograph captures a brief yet captivating moment of relaxation amidst the bustling social scene of Biarritz society. The elegant tea setting, complete with delicate teacups and saucers, adds a touch of refinement to the scene. The natural beauty of the location, combined with the sophisticated air of the two ladies, creates a timeless image that transports us back to a bygone era of glamour and elegance.
