EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Bright Young People Being Bright: Guests at the Party given by Marjorie Firminger and Olivia Wyndham at Glebe Place, Chelsea," transports us back to an enchanting evening in October 1929. The image, taken by an unidentified photographer and now available as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases a group of young, stylish guests gathered at a private residence in the fashionable Chelsea district of London. Marjorie Firminger and Olivia Wyndham, two prominent members of the "Bright Young Things" social circle, are believed to have hosted this glamorous soiree at their residence, Glebe Place. The 30th of October, 1929, was a night filled with elegance, wit, and youthful exuberance, as evidenced by the guests' fashionable attire and animated expressions. The "Bright Young Things," also known as the "Bright Young People," were a group of young, wealthy, and influential individuals who came to prominence in the 1920s and 1930s in London. This group, which included figures such as Evelyn Waugh, Diana Cooper, and Harold Acton, was known for their flamboyant lifestyles, artistic pursuits, and rejection of societal norms. This photograph, with its vibrant colors and lively energy, offers a glimpse into the world of the Bright Young Things and the decadent parties they hosted. It is a testament to a bygone era of glamour, sophistication, and youthful rebellion. Imported from the Illustrated London News archive, this print is a must-have for any history buff, art lover, or collector interested in the social history of the 20th century.
