EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the elegance and beauty of Lady Lettice Lygon, daughter of the 7th Earl Beauchamp, as she relaxes on the French Riviera in 1929. Lady Lettice, who was also known as Sybil Lygon and was the wife of Sir Richard Charles Geers Cotterell, 5th Baronet, was described by The Sketch magazine as one of the tallest and prettiest members of the younger set. In this image, taken by renowned photographer Olive Snell, Lady Lettice can be seen wearing a chic maillotte-style swimsuit, a popular choice for aristocratic women of the time. The sun-drenched scene exudes an air of glamour and sophistication, with Lady Lettice's graceful pose and confident demeanor adding to the allure. The French Riviera, with its crystal-clear waters and beautiful scenery, was a favorite holiday destination for the aristocracy, and this portrait captures the essence of that golden age of luxury and leisure. Lady Lettice and her family were rumored to be an inspiration for Evelyn Waugh's classic novel Brideshead Revisited, further adding to her enduring legacy as a symbol of the British aristocracy in the interwar period.
