New York, September 25, 1915

This newspaper clipping shows the New York Times engagement announcement for Sara and Gerald Murphy. Sara was 32 at the time of their marriage, 5 years Gerald’s senior. After their honeymoon they settled down to life in New York and had three children.

Then, in 1921, six years after their wedding in December 1915, they’d cast off New York’s high society shackles and make their way into the world of expatriates in Paris and the French Riviera, befriending, on a superficial level in any case, the likes of Ernest Hemingway, Dorothy Parker, John Dos Passos, Picasso, Cole Porter and the the Fitzgerald’s.

Besides the numerous portraits of Sarah painted by Picasso, both The Garden of Eden by Hemingway, and Tender is the Night by Fitzgerald, are said to be based on the couple.
