Riviera Reflections: A Journey to the French Riviera in the Roaring Twenties This image, titled "Riviera Reflections" by Dell Leigh, transports us back to the golden age of travel and the allure of the French Riviera in the 1920s. The illustration by Helen McKie sets the scene, with its depiction of a sleek six-cylinder car making its way along the winding coastal road towards the shimmering Mediterranean. The vibrant colors and dynamic brushstrokes evoke a sense of excitement and anticipation for the adventure that lies ahead. The photograph, taken in 1931, captures the lively atmosphere of the Croisette in Cannes, a popular destination for holidaymakers seeking sun, sea, and glamour. The elegant promenade, lined with palm trees and colorful buildings, is filled with people enjoying the warm weather and the bustling energy of the resort town. In the foreground, a group of holidaymakers, dressed in fashionable attire, stroll along the beach, taking in the breathtaking views of the crystal-clear waters and the majestic mountains in the distance. The reflection of the sun on the water adds a dreamlike quality to the scene, as if inviting us to join in the joy and relaxation of this idyllic getaway. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, were a time of prosperity and hedonism, and the French Riviera was a favorite destination for the wealthy and famous. With its stunning natural beauty, luxurious accommodations, and glamorous social scene, it offered a world of escape and indulgence, and this photograph captures the essence of that magical era.
