Mrs Richard Norton & Lady Brecknock at Monte Carlo beach
A snapshot from Monte Carlo beach showing two well-known beauties - one sunburned quite brown and the other still white-skinned. The Hon. Mrs Richard Norton is the tanned one in the bathing suit, due to the fact that she had been staying in the Riviera for some time and the new arrival, with her cream-and-roses complexion is the Countess of Brecknock, looking chic in a polo shirt, loose trousers and sandals. Date: 1932
