Eden Riviera Sunbathing Suntan Tanning Fashionable
EDITORS COMMENTS
A Day at the Sun: A Humorous Take on Fashionable Sunbathing at Eden Roc, French Riviera (1932) This delightful cartoon captures the essence of the jet-setting elite's pursuit of the perfect tan at the chic French Riviera destination of Eden Roc in the 1930s. The image pokes fun at the fashionable society's obsession with sunbathing, showcasing an array of comically exaggerated sunbathers. In the foreground, a woman with an oversized sun hat and a parasol the size of a small tent attempts to shield herself from the sun's rays. Her neighbor, a man with a bulbous belly and a monocle, is seen applying sunscreen with a trowel, while another man, wearing a striped bathing suit and a straw hat, dozes off, snoring loudly. Further down the beach, a group of women engage in a lively game of beach volleyball, their exaggerated curves and oversized sunglasses adding to the comedic effect. A man in the background, wearing a top hat and carrying an umbrella, looks on in amusement. The cartoon's vibrant colors and exaggerated caricatures perfectly encapsulate the carefree spirit and playful energy of the fashionable sunbathers at Eden Roc during the 1930s. This whimsical image offers a lighthearted glimpse into the past, reminding us of the enduring appeal of sun, sand, and the pursuit of the perfect tan.
