EDITORS COMMENTS
Suzanne Lenglen, the renowned French tennis champion, is seen enjoying a leisurely stroll at the Venice Lido beach in 1926. Dressed in a vibrant orange pyjama suit, Lenglen exudes an aura of relaxation and tranquility as she carries a parasol to shield herself from the Italian sun. The image captures the essence of the golden age of the Riviera, with its glamorous resorts and elegant beachwear. Lenglen, who dominated women's tennis in the 1920s, was known for her fierce competitive spirit and unyielding determination on the court. Off the court, however, she relished the simple pleasures of life, including the beauty of the Mediterranean coast. The Venice Lido, with its sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters, offered the perfect escape from the rigors of tennis. The 1920s were a time of great social and cultural change, and the fashion of the era is reflected in Lenglen's pyjama suit. Pyjamas had become a popular choice for beachwear, offering both comfort and style. The bright orange color of Lenglen's suit adds a pop of vibrancy to the black-and-white photograph, making it a striking and memorable image. As Lenglen walks along the beach, her parasol casting a dappled shade over her, it is clear that she is fully present in the moment, savoring the pleasures of the sun, sand, and sea. The photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the Riviera and the timeless appeal of a day at the beach.
