Author Somerset Maugham stands on a stone path in the sunlit garden of his Villa Mauresque in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, 1960. He gently holds a small flower, his expression contemplative. Maugham purchased the property in 1926 and cultivated one of the world’s most beautiful artistic gardens. Here, wearing a light jacket and dark trousers, he is surrounded by overflowing bushes and a vine-draped pergola, a tranquil scene of natural abundance.
