This intriguing 1968 photograph, "Pop and Society", captures a rare moment inside an opulent Irish castle during a lavish costume event attended by notable figures, including musician Mick Jagger and model Faithful Desmond. Slim Aarons’ lens reveals the timeless elegance and historical grandeur of the setting, contrasted with the playful sophistication of the guests’ attire, perfectly embodying the blend of aristocratic tradition and contemporary celebrity culture. The image offers a unique glimpse into a private world where history, art, and high society converge in an intimate celebration.
The photograph is presented as a high-resolution scan of the photo's original photographic slide, complete with hand-lettered archival notations along the mount. Offered exclusively by Soicher Marin, this edition preserves the full character of the original format, transforming it into a striking piece of wall art that merges history, authenticity, and timeless style.

Slim Aarons, renowned for his evocative photographs of, as he described it, "attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places," was the quintessential chronicler of high society. After serving as a war photographer, Aarons turned his lens to a new landscape: the glamorous lives of Hollywood elites, Palm Beach socialites, and jet-setting debutantes and princes. His work for society publications captured an aspirational world of leisure and luxury that defined the American upper class throughout the mid-20th century, creating images that remain timeless symbols of sophistication and style.
Every piece in our unique Slim Aarons collection is meticulously handcrafted using archival materials and printed on premium, luster photographic paper with environmentally safe inks, custom framed by skilled artisans who ensure that each work of art meets the exacting standards befitting such an iconic photograph.
