EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming Edwardian-era photograph captures the joy and simplicity of a family holiday at the seaside in Southwold, Suffolk, in 1909. The scene is set on a Sunday morning on Southwold Common, with the sun casting a warm glow over the group of five. In the foreground, three boys, Harold, Albert, and Arthur, dressed in their best Sunday attire, stand proudly with their hats in hand. Their sister Violet, a pretty girl in a frilly dress and a straw hat, completes the family portrait. The boys' hats, reminiscent of boaters or bowlers, were popular fashion accessories for young boys during this time. The father, Arthur, wears an Eton collar shirt and a cap, while the mother, whose face is not visible, is dressed in a long skirt and blouse, with a hat adorned with flowers. The family stands among the lush grass, surrounded by the natural beauty of the common, enjoying the simple pleasures of a day at the coast. The photograph, part of The Patricia Aubrey Collection, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when family holidays were cherished moments of relaxation and connection.
