EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a moment of leisure and camaraderie among an elegant group of women and two distinguished gentlemen during the summer of 1928. Seated on the left is Lady Edwina Mountbatten, née Ashley (1901-1960), wearing a stylish hat and a radiant smile. Her sister-in-law, Patricia Mountbatten (1924- ), the Duchess of Cambridge and Teck, is seen on the right, her eyes sparkling with merriment. Between them, the two Mountbattens are flanked by the Norton sisters, Sarah and Mrs. Richard Norton. Sarah, with her chic bob hairstyle and fashionable dress, looks poised and sophisticated, while her sister, Mrs. Norton, wears a charming floral dress and a sun hat. The gentlemen in the photograph are John Norton and the Honorable Richard Norton, but their identities are not clearly discernible. The setting for this delightful scene is the fashionable seaside resort of Deauville, located in Normandy, France. The group appears to be enjoying a leisurely afternoon outing, perhaps after a day at the beach or a round of golf. The crisp, clear air of the Normandy coast, the gentle sound of the waves, and the warm sunshine are all evident in the photograph, adding to the sense of tranquility and relaxation. This photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of the wealthy and privileged in the 1920s, a time of prosperity, glamour, and social change. The women's elegant attire, the men's formal wear, and the refined setting all speak to a world of luxury and leisure, a world that seems far removed from the challenges and uncertainties of the modern age. This photograph, from the archives of the Illustrated London News Ltd, is a beautiful reminder of a bygone era, a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of friendship, family, and good company were cherished above all else.
