Mrs. Benlinck Budd and her Unusual Companion: A Stroll through the French Riviera in the 1920s This photograph, taken in 1924, captures the enchanting scene of Mrs. Benlinck Budd and her pet ring-tailed lemur enjoying a leisurely walk along the French Riviera. The Côte d'Azur, known for its glamour and elegance, provides a striking backdrop to this unusual pairing. Mrs. Benlinck Budd, dressed in a fashionable patterned woollen dress, hat, and gloves, exudes an air of sophistication and charm. She leads her pet lemur on a leash, its ring-tailed fur contrasting sharply against her elegant attire. The lemur, with its expressive eyes and curious demeanor, gazes intently at its surroundings, seemingly taking in the sights and sounds of the bustling French resort town of Cannes. The 1920s, a decade of innovation and experimentation, saw an increasing trend towards unconventional pets. Mrs. Benlinck Budd's choice of a lemur as a companion was certainly an unusual one, but it speaks to her adventurous spirit and willingness to break from the norm. This photograph, with its timeless beauty and intriguing subject matter, transports us back to a bygone era. It offers a glimpse into the world of the wealthy and eccentric travelers who flocked to the French Riviera in the 1920s, seeking sun, glamour, and the opportunity to embrace the unexpected.
