EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1931, captures the enchanting presence of Rosita Forbes, the renowned writer, traveller, and journalist, as she relaxes on the Venice Lido with her husband, Arthur McGrath, and her dear friends, Majors Duffus and Mathews. The sun-drenched scene exudes an air of elegance and sophistication, with Rosita donning a stylish sunhat and comfortable pyjamas, the perfect attire for a leisurely day at the beach. Rosita Forbes, born in 1898, was a prolific figure in the literary and journalistic world, having travelled extensively throughout the Middle East, Europe, and Africa. Her writings, which included travelogues, novels, and articles, were published in various prestigious publications, such as The New Yorker and The Saturday Evening Post. The Venice Lido, with its stunning beaches and vibrant social scene, was a popular destination for the international elite during the 1930s. In this photograph, Rosita and her companions, dressed in chic summer attire, embody the glamour and allure of the Venetian Riviera. The gentle breeze, the warm sun, and the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea create an idyllic setting for this timeless moment in history. This evocative image, a testament to the carefree spirit of a bygone era, invites us to imagine the stories and adventures that unfolded between these remarkable individuals as they basked in the beauty and charm of the Venice Lido.
