Beaverbrook Castlerosse Cote Newspaper Riviera 1925 Owner
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures a moment of leisure and camaraderie between two prominent figures of early 20th century British society: Lord Castlerosse and Lord Beaverbrook, taken on the sun-soaked shores of the French Riviera in January 1914. Lord Castlerosse, the son and heir of the Earl of Kenmare, is depicted in the prime of his youth, clad in a smart suit and hat, his gaze fixed on the horizon. His companion, Max Aitken, later known as Lord Beaverbrook, is a formidable figure in his own right. A successful businessman and newspaper owner, Beaverbrook's influence on British politics and media would only grow in the decades to come. The backdrop of the Cote d'Azur, with its crystal-clear waters and picturesque coastline, adds an air of glamour and luxury to the scene. The date of the photograph, 1925, marks a time when the Riviera was already a popular destination for the wealthy and famous, and these two men, with their prominent positions in society, were no exception. Despite the idyllic setting, the shadows of the looming First World War are already beginning to creep in. Just a few short years after this photograph was taken, both Lord Castlerosse and Lord Beaverbrook would find themselves deeply involved in the war effort, with Castlerosse serving as a decorated officer and Beaverbrook using his media empire to support the war effort. This photograph is a captivating snapshot of a bygone era, a time when the elite of British society could escape the stresses of everyday life and revel in the beauty and luxury of the French Riviera. The enduring friendship between Lord Castlerosse and Lord Beaverbrook, captured in this moment, is a testament to the power of camaraderie and the allure of the Cote d'Azur.
