Cocktails and Laughter: The Albums of Loelia Duchess of Westminster (Book)
About the Item
This book is a wonderful social record of the bright young things and how they lived in the early years of the 20th century, told and photographed by the then Duchess of Westminster, who had married one of England's wealthiest men - who moved in the very highest of society and who had Winston Churchill as best man at the wedding. There are pictures taken on private yachts, large country houses, and night clubs such as El Morocco.
