EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from 1933, the spirit of summer vacation comes alive as we follow three women's journeys through the picturesque town of Biarritz, located on the southwestern coast of France. At the top of the image, we find Rosemary Phelps Dodge and Mademoiselle Eliane O Rossdi, elegantly dressed and admiring the modernistic garden of the Grand Hotel. The lush greenery and geometric lines of the design create a striking contrast against the blue sky, as the two women converse and enjoy the tranquility of their surroundings. Moving to the center, we encounter Kay Stoop and Teddie Hogg, who are engaged in a lively conversation at the Miramar Bar during their participation in a tennis tournament. Their animated expressions and casual attire suggest a sense of camaraderie and enjoyment, as they take a break from the competition to socialize and unwind. Lastly, at the bottom of the photograph, we meet Suzanne Lenglen, the renowned tennis player, as she relaxes on the sandy Biarritz beach in a one-piece bathing costume. The sun casts a warm glow on her figure, and her serene expression speaks to the rejuvenating power of the sea and sun. This image, taken in September of 1933, offers a glimpse into the lives of these women during the 1930s, a time when the allure of the French Riviera and the simple pleasures of summer holidays drew visitors from around the world.
