EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the elegant leisurely moment between Princess Elizabeth of York and her mother, the Duchess of York, at the picturesque beach of Palerme, Sicily in 1928. The Princess, dressed in a chic high-waisted bathing suit with a belted waistline and a short skirt, lies back luxuriously on the sand, her arms outstretched in a relaxed pose. Her mother, the Duchess, clad in a similar bathing suit, sits beside her, shielding them both from the sun's rays with an ornate oriental parasol. A playful dog joins the scene, adding to the idyllic atmosphere of the scene. The intricately designed Chinese parasol, with its delicate patterns and intricate fringes, is a striking accessory that complements the fashionable bathing suits of the two women. The photograph, taken during the Roaring Twenties, showcases the popular beach fashion of the era, with its emphasis on elegance, sophistication, and a sense of freedom. The image is a beautiful testament to the carefree spirit of the time and the special bond between mother and daughter.
