EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph taken in 1928, we find the iconic English photographer Sir Cecil Beaton (1904-1980) enjoying a leisurely summer holiday with his sister Nancy Beaton (1909-1999) and their friend Miss Ann Duveen. The trio is seated on the sandy shores of Sandwich Bay, located on the picturesque east coast of Kent. The sun-soaked scene exudes a sense of tranquility and relaxation, as the siblings and their companion lounge in their stylish swimsuits and sun hats. Sir Cecil Beaton, renowned for his fashion, portrait, and war photography, as well as his work as a painter, interior designer, and stage and costume designer for films and the theatre, is captured here in a more personal and unguarded moment. His distinctive spectacles, perched on the bridge of his nose, add an endearing touch to his image. Beaton's sister Nancy, one of his earliest models, is seen to his left, her radiant smile reflecting the joy of the sunny day. Miss Ann Duveen completes the tableau, her elegant posture and serene expression adding to the overall charm of the scene. The trio's casual attire, consisting of chic bathing suits and sun caps, further emphasizes the carefree spirit of the summer holiday. The calm waters of the bay stretch out before them, the gentle waves lapping at the shore, creating a sense of harmony between the people and their natural surroundings. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the personal life of a man who would go on to become one of the most celebrated figures in the history of photography.
