EDITORS COMMENTS
- "Here we amuse ourselves all day long" - this caption encapsulates the carefree spirit of the smart society depicted in Roger Furse's illustration "Society on the Riviera - A Day of Leisure in Monte Carlo," created in 1932. The image transports us back to the golden age of the French Riviera, a time when the Côte d'Azur was the playground for the wealthy and famous. The illustration showcases an array of leisurely pursuits, with elegantly dressed men and women enjoying the sun-soaked pleasures of Monte Carlo. In the foreground, a group of stylish women lounge on the grass, sipping cocktails and chatting animatedly. Nearby, a man in a straw hat watches intently as a tennis match unfolds on an immaculate court. Elsewhere, a couple dances gracefully under the shade of a parasol, while another engages in a lively game of cards. The iconic Casino of Monte Carlo looms in the background, a symbol of the endless entertainment available on the French Riviera for those with the means to enjoy such pleasures. The montage border of the illustration represents the myriad of activities that could be found along the Côte d'Azur during the 1930s. From sunbathing on the beach to dancing the night away in glamorous nightclubs, the Riviera offered a veritable feast of experiences for the jet-setting elite. Roger Furse's illustration captures the essence of a bygone era, a time when the pursuit of pleasure and relaxation was the order of the day. Whether it was a game of tennis, a cocktail at the café, or a dance under the stars, the smart society of the French Riviera knew how to make the most of every moment. And so, as we gaze upon this enchanting scene, we can't help but be transported back to a time when life moved at a more leisurely pace, and the simple pleasures of the Riviera were enough to make every day feel like a holiday.
