EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the 1930s, three elegant women, the Hon. Kay Norton (right), Mrs. Richard Hoffman of New York (left), and Lady Castlerosse (foreground), are seen enjoying a thrilling ride on a speedboat near the Summer Sporting Club in Monte Carlo, on the French Riviera. The image, taken in 1936, captures the spirit of high society during this glamorous era. The Summer Sporting Club, established in the 1920s, was the epicenter of evening and social life along the French Riviera. The club's terrace offered an enchanting setting for dining, where guests were treated to the cabaret performances of "Les Girls," adding an air of excitement and sophistication to the already alluring atmosphere. The Hon. Kay Norton, a British socialite, and Mrs. Richard Hoffman, an American heiress, are dressed in chic, fashionable attire, reflecting the glamorous lifestyle of the time. Lady Castlerosse, a British noblewoman, adds an air of aristocracy to the scene, her radiant smile and confident posture exuding an aura of elegance and charm. The speedboat ride, with the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean in the background, adds an element of adventure and excitement to the scene. The women's laughter and the sound of the speedboat's engine create a sense of freedom and joy, encapsulating the essence of the carefree and luxurious lifestyle of the French Riviera's high society during the 1930s. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of Monte Carlo and the French Riviera, and the timeless appeal of the jet-set lifestyle that continues to captivate and inspire generations.
