EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph from 1912, American actress Maxine Elliott (1868-1940) is captured strolling along the picturesque promenade of Cannes, France, accompanied by a friend. The elegant pair, dressed in their finest Edwardian attire, exude an air of sophistication and glamour as they take in the breathtaking beauty of the Mediterranean coastline. Maxine Elliott, a renowned stage actress of the early 20th century, was known for her captivating performances and stunning fashion sense. Here, she dons a chic, high-necked blouse with a voluminous skirt, adorned with intricate lace detailing and a delicate floral pattern. Her friend, equally fashionable, complements her in a flowing, empire-waist gown with a delicate lace overlay. This idyllic scene in Cannes marks the beginning of Maxine Elliott's enduring love affair with the French Riviera. Two decades later, she would entertain an impressive roster of famous guests at her luxurious villa, Chateau de l'Horizon, including F. Scott Fitzgerald, Cole Porter, and Charlie Chaplin. The villa, which still stands today, remains a testament to Maxine's legendary status as a hostess and a symbol of the glamour and elegance of the Roaring Twenties. This evocative image, captured by the acclaimed Illustrated London News Ltd, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of grace and glamour on the French Riviera.
