EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures Sir Oswald Mosley and his family enjoying a sun-soaked holiday on the French Riviera in 1931. Sir Oswald, a British politician and former military officer, is seen here with his wife, Lady Cynthia Mosley (also known as Cimmie), and their two young children, Vivien and Nicholas. The family is relaxing at Cap d'Antibes, a picturesque seaside resort town located between Nice and Cannes. The Mosleys were frequent visitors to the French Riviera during this period, drawn to its idyllic climate, stunning beauty, and vibrant social scene. In this image, Sir Oswald and Lady Cynthia appear to be in the midst of a peaceful moment, with their children playing nearby. Sir Oswald, dressed in a smart suit and hat, gazes out at the sparkling Mediterranean Sea, while Lady Cynthia, wearing a chic summer dress and hat, looks on with a smile. The serene atmosphere of the photograph belies the tumultuous political climate of the time. Sir Oswald was a controversial figure, having founded the British Union of Fascists in 1932, a far-right political party that advocated for authoritarianism and nationalism. However, in this moment, the Mosley family is simply enjoying a well-deserved break from the stresses of public life. The photograph was taken on September 19, 1931, and remains a poignant reminder of a simpler time in the lives of this intriguing family. The sun-kissed shores of Cap d'Antibes continue to draw visitors from around the world, offering a glimpse into the glamour and allure of the French Riviera.
