Superb and previously never before published, this
wonderful original photograph comes from the private photograph album of Mr.
Charles G. Cushing, a New York Investment Banker, who back in the 1950s was
both the Financial Advisor and friend to many celebrities and personalities
including the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Judy Garland, World Champion Boxer
Rocky Marciano and many others.
This particular photograph taken in 1956, shows the Duke and Duchess of
Windsor, Mr. & Mrs. Charles Cushing and friends having lunch at the Goldener Greif Hotel
in Kitzbϋhel, Austria whilst vacationing together on a European motoring trip.
The Duchess of Windsor is seated on the left, the Duke of
Windsor on the right talking to members of the staff, and Mr. Charles Cushing
is seated far right.
This is an unusually informal and relaxed photograph of the
Duke and Duchess of Windsor lunching with friends whilst on vacation, as
opposed to the typically seen formal posed photographs of the royal couple, and
is scarce as such.
This 5½ x 3½ inch postcard sized photograph, which is in
excellent condition, has an ink handwritten notation on the reverse “Lunch at
the Goldener Greif Kitzbϋhel”.
This 100% authentic and original black & white
photograph was previously owned by Mr. Charles G. Cushing a close personal
friend of the Duke & Duchess of Windsor, and is one of several original
photographs I have which previously belonged to Mr. Charles Cushing. This photograph comes
