Couple sitting in surf - British seaside candid photograph
Young Couple sitting in the surf - classic British seaside candid photograph - August, 1921. Unless it is a glitch on the photographic plate (possible) the young woman appears to have a black eye - perhaps she under-estimated the position of the hanging lamp in the breakfast room at Mrs Miggins Guesthouse at breakfast that morning...! Date: 1921

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative candid photograph from August, 1921, a young couple sits blissfully in the surf at the British seaside. The carefree scene exudes the relaxed atmosphere of a classic summer holiday. The woman, dressed in a stylish one-piece swimsuit with a fashionable cap, leans back against her partner, both of them lost in the moment as they enjoy the cool waters of the sea. However, upon closer inspection, the woman's left eye appears to be swollen and discolored, suggesting an injury. One can only speculate about its cause - perhaps she underestimated the reach of a hanging lamp in the breakfast room at Mrs Miggins Guesthouse that morning, or perhaps it was an accidental encounter with a seaside curiosity. This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back to the 1920s and the social history of the time. The couple's joyous expression and the gentle waves in the background add to the sense of tranquility and nostalgia. The image is a poignant reminder of the simple pleasures of a day at the beach, even when unexpected mishaps occur. This photograph is a beautiful and intriguing glimpse into the past, and a testament to the enduring allure of the British seaside. It is a must-have for any collection of vintage images or social history archives.
