EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of Deauville, the fashionable French seaside resort, as depicted in this humorous illustration by the talented Tony Wysard. This scene transports us back in time to 1939, where society's elite indulge in the height of leisure and entertainment. In the foreground, a lively polo match takes place, with players dressed in their finest riding attire, their horses' manes flying in the wind. Nearby, a group of elegantly dressed women watch the match, sipping on cocktails and chatting animatedly. A nearby casino beckons, where the sound of clinking chips and excited chatter can be heard. The green fairways of a golf course stretch out in the background, providing a picturesque backdrop to the scene. And if that wasn't enough, the thrill of horse racing can be felt in the air, as jockeys and their horses prepare for the next race. But the true icing on the cake is the appearance of Sir Winston Churchill, dressed in his bathing costume and puffing on a cigar. The iconic statesman, known for his love of the seaside, adds an air of sophistication and charm to this already glamorous setting. This humorous illustration offers a glimpse into the exclusive and smart world of Deauville, where the upper classes came to enjoy their hobbies and pastimes in style. A true testament to the history and allure of this fashionable French resort.
