From its earliest days as a dessert oasis to its mid-century heyday as a getaway for the rich and famous, its relaxed ambiance and unique residents and visitors have provided countless fascinating photographic subjects. Palm Springs Paradise features more than two hundred vintage photographs, only a fraction of which have ever been seen by the public. Subjects include early Palm Springs, the fabulous El Mirador, architecture both refined and zany, Sinatra and his Rat Pack, and the irreverent people who make the desert so much fun.
