1937 could be named the summer of love for Lee Miller and Roland Penrose, who had recently met for the fi rst time, and their friends Max Ernst, Leonora Carrington, Picasso, Dora Maar, Man Ray, Ady Fidelin and more. This facsimile of Lee and Roland's photograph albums shows their summer holiday together, as portrayed in the feature fi lm Lee, and demonstrates the freedom and friendship of these artists as the Second World War looms on the horizon.

Antony Penrose is the son of Lee Miller and Roland Penrose and cofounder of the Lee Miller Archives. He is the author of the biography Lives of Lee Miller and editor of Lee Miller's War. He has been researching, lecturing, and working to conserve his mother's legacy for forty years.
