Jet-set life on the Côte d’Azur. On the occasion of the 100th birthday of the Irish photographer legend Edward Quinn, this ravishing illustrated book is published as a revised reprint. 150 pictures bear witness to the optimistic esprit of the 1950s, which was reflected in jet-set life on the Côte d’Azur as well as in extravagant car design. While people in Germany were still dreaming of their own VW Beetle, Edward Quinn shows the dream cars in which the celebrities of his time got around: Picasso and his Hispano Suiza, Brigitte Bardot in her Lancia, Onassis in a Porsche – they and many others can be seen with their motorised gems. The knowledgeable texts by car expert Jürgen Lewandowski provide the technical details on the respective vehicle type.
