EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black-and-white photograph captures a moment of surprise and agony at the seaside in 1903. A bratty-looking young boy, dressed in a sailor suit and looking rather spoiled, reaches into a rockpool with an air of cockiness. Suddenly, a crab, seemingly taking offense to the intrusion, bites down hard on the boy's big toe. The boy's expression changes instantly from one of smugness to one of shock and pain. His cry echoes through the air, no doubt causing a commotion among the other holidaymakers on the beach. The historical image is a reminder of the unexpected joys and challenges that come with a day at the coast. The boy's outfit, complete with cap and collar, adds to the sense of nostalgia and the image's timeless quality. Despite the pain and hurt, the boy's experience is a common one for children growing up in England during this era. The photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the seaside, with its mix of excitement, discovery, and the occasional dose of the unexpected.
