Marianne Faithfull recalls of this image:
"This was taken in Paris, on my honeymoon. I was pregnant with Nicholas. It was May but I must have been cold as I think I’m wearing John’s coat round my shoulders – so chivalrous!"
Marianne discussed the unconventional nature of her honeymoon in her autobiography, Faithfull: An Autobiography:
'Our honeymoon, although spent in Paris, was anything but conventional. The only people we saw during our week in Paros were Allen Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and Gregory Corso.'
