EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, tennis legend Suzanne Lenglen (1899-1934) is seen enjoying a moment of leisure with Mrs. Florence de Caze Jay Gould (1893-1985) at the renowned Monte Carlo resort in the French Riviera. The image, taken in 1934, captures the elegance and sophistication of both women as they embrace the vibrant and stylish atmosphere of the Côte d'Azur. Suzanne Lenglen, a French tennis champion, dominated women's tennis during the 1920s, winning a total of 31 Grand Slam titles. Her innovative playing style and charisma made her a crowd favorite and a trailblazer for women in sports. Mrs. Jay Gould, born Florence de Caze, was the wife of the wealthy American philanthropist and businessman, Frank Jay Gould. Together, they were known for their patronage of the arts and their significant contributions to the development of the French Riviera, particularly in Juan-les-Pins. Their support helped to establish the area as a popular destination for the European elite and contributed to its enduring allure. The photograph showcases the women's chic and stylish attire, with Suzanne wearing a pair of shorts that were considered quite daring for the time, while Mrs. Jay Gould dons an elegant dress and hat. The image offers a glimpse into the glamorous world of the French Riviera society during the 1930s, where tennis champions and high society figures mingled and celebrated the joys of life.
