Antibes Camera Curzon Cynthia Mosley Nicholas Oswald Riviera Taking 1929
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Lady Cynthia Mosley, formerly known as Cimmie Curzon and the former wife of Sir Oswald Mosley, is seen taking a photograph of her young son, Nicholas, during their holiday at Cap d'Antibes on the French Riviera in 1929. The sun-soaked scene exudes an air of leisure and tranquility, as the family enjoys their time away from the bustling society life they were accustomed to. Lady Cynthia, the second daughter of Lord Curzon, was a prominent figure in British society. She married Sir Oswald Mosley, a prominent political figure, in 1920, but their marriage ended in 1933 following an operation for appendicitis that claimed Cynthia's life. Mosley later married Diana Mitford, with whom he had been having an affair. The Mosleys' holiday in Antibes was likely a much-needed respite from the political turmoil and personal drama that marked their lives. The Sketch, a British publication, wryly commented on their sunburns, a common affliction for those enjoying the Mediterranean sun. The image captures a moment of joy and connection between mother and son, a poignant reminder of the simpler moments in life amidst the complexities of their public personas. This photograph, with its rich history and evocative imagery, offers a glimpse into the lives of the Mosleys during a time when they sought refuge from the world and embraced the beauty of the French Riviera.
