EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the radiant beauty and elegance of the Marquise de Casa Maury, formerly known as Paula Gellibrand and Joan Yarde-Buller, at the height of the Jazz Age in 1929. The image was taken at the fashionable sunbathing resort of Eden Roc on the French Riviera, a popular destination for the upper class and bright young things of society. Paula, who later divorced her first husband, Loel Guinness, and married the dashing Prince Aly Khan, is seen here in a chic polka-dot swimsuit, lying on a sunbed with a parasol shielding her from the Mediterranean sun. The pristine white buildings of Eden Roc can be seen in the background, adding to the glamorous and luxurious atmosphere of the scene. The Marquise's sophisticated style and effortless grace were the envy of many, and this photograph encapsulates the glamour and allure of the 1920s, a decade marked by artistic innovation, social change, and a newfound appreciation for leisure and pleasure. The Côte d'Azur, with its crystal-clear waters and sunny climate, became a symbol of the jet set lifestyle and the epitome of elegance and sophistication. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of the French Riviera as a destination for the rich and famous, and a reminder of the golden age of glamour and luxury that defined the 1920s.
