by Douglas Wales: A Vision of the French Riviera in the 1930s This evocative black-and-white photograph, titled "Coat D'Azur" by Douglas Wales, captures the essence of a bygone era on the French Riviera. The image features a young woman, elegantly dressed in a blue satin coat, gazing out from a balcony overlooking the stunning Mediterranean coastline. The year is 1931, and the scene is set against the backdrop of the crystal-clear blue sea and the azure sky that gives the region its name. The woman's expression is one of quiet contemplation, as if she is lost in thought while taking in the breathtaking view before her. The balustrade of the balcony adds a sense of sophistication and refinement to the image, while the gentle breeze that rustles her coat adds a touch of movement and life to the still scene. The French Riviera, or Côte d'Azur, has long been a popular destination for travelers seeking relaxation, sunshine, and beauty. In the 1930s, the region was particularly popular with the wealthy and famous, who came to escape the harsh winters of Europe and enjoy the luxurious lifestyle that the Riviera had to offer. The photograph captures the timeless allure of the French Riviera, with its stunning coastline, crystal-clear waters, and endless sunshine. The blue coat of the woman in the image serves as a visual link to the blue sky and sea, highlighting the connection between the woman and the natural beauty of her surroundings. This image is a testament to the enduring appeal of the French Riviera and the memories it has inspired over the decades.
