EDITORS COMMENTS
Bright Young Things: A Sun-Soaked Afternoon at the Venice Lido in 1926 This photograph captures the essence of the Bright Young Things, a group of charismatic and unconventional young people who dominated the social scene in London during the 1920s. Here, we see four members of this notorious set, lined up on the sandy shores of the Venice Lido in 1926. From left to right, we have Alan Parsons, a drama critic for the Daily Mail and the husband of the enchanting Viola Tree. Next to him is Zita Jungman, a Hungarian-born actress and socialite, known for her vivacious personality and striking looks. Mr. Robin D. Erlanger, formerly Myrtle Farquarson, is seen with a friend, basking in the Italian sun. The Bright Young Things were known for their love of adventure, their rejection of societal norms, and their penchant for living life to the fullest. This photograph, taken during their holiday in Venice, captures their carefree spirit as they enjoy a sunny afternoon at the Lido. The women are dressed in fashionable swimsuits of the time, with Zita wearing a chic two-piece ensemble and Viola opting for a more modest one-piece. The men are casually dressed, with Alan donning a straw hat and Robin wearing a simple pair of swim trunks. The Lido, with its beautiful beaches and crystal-clear waters, provided the perfect backdrop for the Bright Young Things to unwind and soak up the sun. This photograph is a testament to their youth, their vitality, and their unforgettable spirit. As we gaze at this image, we are transported back in time to a bygone era, where life was simpler, and the days were filled with sunshine, laughter, and the joy of living in the moment.
