EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1921, the Selfridge family gathers at the picturesque Highcliffe Castle for an elegant afternoon gathering. Seated in the center, Vicomte de Sibour, a French nobleman, charms Violette Selfridge, who is about to become his bride. To Vicomte's left, the enigmatic Isadora Duncan, the renowned American dancer and actress, adds an air of glamour and excitement to the scene. Gordon Selfridge Junior, the charming and dapper son of the famous British retail magnate, stands to the right of the group, his youthful energy and enthusiasm evident in his posture. The family's gathering at Highcliffe Castle, a stunning 18th-century fortified manor house located on the English coast, was likely a celebration of Violette and Vicomte de Sibour's upcoming nuptials. The year was 1921, and the roaring twenties were in full swing. Jazz music filled the air, and the era's fashionable trends were on full display. The Selfridge family, known for their wealth and sophistication, embodied the spirit of the times. This photograph, with its timeless beauty and intriguing cast of characters, offers a glimpse into the lives of the Selfridges and their elegant social circle during an unforgettable era.
