1. Title: A Day at the Beach in Dunkirk, France: Malo-les-Bains, Circa 1910s Description: This photograph, hailing from The Roseries Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time to the idyllic Malo-les-Bains beach in Dunkirk, France, during the early 1910s. The image showcases a peaceful scene of leisure and relaxation, as families enjoy their day at the coast. Children, dressed in turn-of-the-century swimsuits, can be seen playing in the soft, golden sand, building sandcastles and exploring their surroundings with boundless energy and enthusiasm. The joy on their faces reflects the simple pleasures of a day at the beach. Adjacent to the children, adults lounge in the shade of colorful beach tents and wooden huts, their bodies at ease as they read, nap, or engage in quiet conversation. The wooden huts, a common sight along the French coast during this era, provide shelter from the sun and a sense of privacy for beachgoers. A bicycle, leaning against one of the huts, hints at the possibility of further exploration beyond the sandy shores. The clear, calm waters of the English Channel gently lap against the shore, adding to the serene ambiance of the scene. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the charm and allure of a seaside holiday during the early 1900s. The sun, sand, and sea combine to create a timeless experience that continues to draw visitors to the shores of Dunkirk, France, to this very day.
