Zelda Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda Sayre pictured on a road-trip in Motor magazine. In July 1920—immediately after marrying—Scott and Zelda decided to drive his 1918 Marmon automobile on a 1,200 mile road-trip southward to visit the Sayre family in Montgomery, Alabama. The trip was a disaster with numerous automotive mishaps. In 1922, Scott wrote a humorous narrative about their misadventures entitled "The Cruise of the Rolling Junk." Two years later, the story was serialized and published in three-parts by Motor magazine from February-April 1924. As the copyright for all photos in magazine articles published prior to 1926 has expired, this photo is verifiably in the public domain.

A digitally retouched version of pages 4 and 5 of the passport book for writer F. Scott Fitzgerald, his wife Zelda Fitzgerald, and their only child Frances "Scottie" Fitzgerald. This passport book was likely obtained circa Spring 1924 when the Fitzgeralds relocated from America to Europe during the latter half of Jazz Age. While abroad in Europe, Fitzgerald would compose his magnum opus The Great Gatsby based on his earlier love affair with socialite Ginevra King. Throughout their lives, Fitzgerald's continued obsession with King would strain his relationship with his wife Zelda.

A photograph of Zelda Sayre that was published in The Oracle: Senior Issue 1918 by Sidney Lanier High School in Montgomery, Alabama. The photograph was accompanied by Zelda's poem outlining her carefree attitude towards life and indifference towards political matters: "Why should all life be work, when we all can borrow? Let's only think of today, and not worry about tomorrow!"

In Spring 1919, a youthful Zelda Sayre had photographs taken of herself while in costume which she then sent to writer F. Scott Fitzgerald in New York City. She wrote to him in a personal letter dated March 1919: "I'm glad you liked those [photos]—I wanted them to serve as maps of your property.... An old flame from the Stone Ages is calling to-night—He'll probably leave in disgust because I just must talk about you—I love you so, and I'm so lonesome."
