EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the glamour and allure of the French Riviera in the 1930s, as Scottish socialite and coal industry heiress, Dorothy Mary "Dickie" Fellowes-Gordon, and American actor-dancer, Walter Crisham, enjoy a leisurely moment at the famed Eden Roc resort. Dickie Fellowes-Gordon, born on August 3, 1891, was known for her striking beauty, charisma, and extensive social connections. As a prominent figure in London society, she was a regular attendee of high-profile events and rubbed shoulders with the elite of the day. Her wealth, derived from her family's coal mining business, allowed her to live a lavish lifestyle and travel extensively throughout Europe. In the 1930s, Dickie became a companion of Elsa Maxwell, a renowned hostess and society figure, and the two women were often seen together at glamorous events and vacation spots. Walter Crisham, born in 1903, was an accomplished actor and dancer who appeared in several Broadway productions and Hollywood films. His charisma and talent made him a popular figure in the entertainment industry, and he was known for his dashing good looks and charming personality. The photograph, taken in 1938, shows Dickie and Walter relaxing at Eden Roc, a luxurious resort on the French Riviera that was a favorite destination for the rich and famous. The pair are seen lounging on sunbeds, with the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea in the background. The sun-soaked scene is a testament to the carefree and indulgent lifestyle of the jet set during this era. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the glamorous world of the 1930s, and the elegance and sophistication of Dickie and Walter are evident in their poised and stylish demeanor. The image is a reminder of a bygone era, when the French Riviera was the playground of the rich and famous, and the pursuit of pleasure and luxury was the ultimate goal.
