SUMMER IN JUANS-LES-PINS - Lot 1
SUMMER IN JUANS-LES-PINS Bare backs and shorts… 1933. Photo by Henri Manuel, vintage silver print, stamped by the photographer and captioned and dated on the back. 17.8 x 13 cm, including white borders. Note: Taken by Henri Manuel in 1933, this photograph illustrates the evolution of seaside leisure activities and dress codes during the interwar period. With its bare backs and shorts, it bears witness to the liberalization of summer practices on the French Riviera, as Juan-les-Pins established itself as one of the most modern and cosmopolitan resorts on the French Riviera. A leading figure in press photography and society portraiture, Henri Manuel spontaneously captures here the spirit of freedom and elegance that characterized the 1930s.
