An Evening in the Casino at Deauville
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Mundo: A Glimpse into the Glamorous World of 1920s High Society This photograph, titled "An Evening in the Casino at Deauville," by the renowned French caricaturist Mundo, offers a fascinating glimpse into the glamorous world of high society in the 1920s. The image, which was published in 1929, captures a cast of well-known personalities at the fashionable Casino in Deauville, a popular resort town on the Normandy coast of France. The photograph features an array of elegantly dressed men, engrossed in the thrilling world of gambling, as they gather around the green felt tables of the casino. Among the notable figures in the image are Mr. James Hennessy, dressed in a sharp suit and smoking a pipe, positioned second from the left. Seated beyond the croupier, with a thoughtful expression, is M. Andre Citroen, the renowned automobile manufacturer. In the foreground, the Aga Khan, a prominent spiritual and political leader, sits calmly, observing the scene with a cigar in hand. The Casino at Deauville was a hub of nightlife and entertainment, where the rich and famous came to unwind and indulge in the thrill of gambling. The 1920s, also known as the "Roaring Twenties," were a time of prosperity, decadence, and cultural innovation. This photograph encapsulates the spirit of the era, with its lively energy, stylish attire, and air of sophistication. Mundo's caricatured style adds a playful touch to the image, making it a delightful and intriguing snapshot of a bygone era. The photograph is a reminder of the allure and excitement that the world of high society held during the 1920s, and the enduring appeal of the casino as a symbol of glamour and entertainment.
