EDITORS COMMENTS
A Poule de Luxe's Seaside Retreat: A Well-Heeled Woman's Holiday Essentials, Circa 1920s In this vintage photograph, a Poule de Luxe, or fancy woman, takes a leisurely break on the seashore. The woman, dressed in elegant attire and adorned with a wide-brimmed hat, exudes an air of wealth and sophistication. Her belongings scattered around her suggest that she is well-prepared for her seaside holiday. Among her possessions are a hairdryer, a parasol, a book, a folding chair, a picnic basket, and an inflatable crocodile. The hairdryer, a luxury item at the time, indicates her high maintenance nature. The parasol shields her from the sun, while the book suggests that she enjoys reading. The folding chair provides a comfortable seat, and the picnic basket is filled with delicious treats. The inflatable crocodile, however, adds an element of whimsy and playfulness to the scene. It is a reminder that even the wealthiest and most sophisticated women can still enjoy the simple pleasures of life. The Poule de Luxe's belongings are spread out around her, evidence of her wealth and the luxurious lifestyle she leads. The seashore provides the perfect backdrop for her relaxation, with the sand, sea, and sun creating a picturesque setting for her holiday. This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, when the wealthy elite would travel to the coast for their holidays, bringing with them all the comforts and conveniences of home. The Poule de Luxe's relaxed pose and contented expression speak to the joy and indulgence of taking a break from the demands of everyday life.
