EDITORS COMMENTS
Bathing at Brighton, Sussex. Date: 1901" is an evocative and captivating photograph that transports us back in time to the Edwardian era, specifically to the popular coastal resort of Brighton in Sussex during the summer of 1901. The image vividly portrays the spirit of leisure and enjoyment that characterized the holiday season during this period. At the heart of the photograph, we see a group of women in elegant Edwardian costumes, each one bravely taking a turn on the diving machine, a contraption designed to help swimmers dive into the sea with ease and grace. The machine, with its large wheels and intricate design, adds a touch of excitement and novelty to the scene. In the background, we see a rowboat being maneuvered by a boatman, while another boat is anchored nearby. The sea stretches out in the distance, its gentle waves lapping against the shore. The coastal landscape is dotted with bathing machines, which were popular during this time as they provided privacy for women to change into their swimming costumes before entering the water. The scene is filled with a sense of energy and vitality, as people make the most of their summer holidays. The women's costumes, with their high collars, long sleeves, and voluminous skirts, are a testament to the fashion of the time. The overall effect is one of nostalgia and wonder, as we are reminded of a bygone era when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of a day at the beach were cherished. This photograph is a beautiful and intriguing glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of a holiday by the sea during the Edwardian era. It is a reminder of the enduring appeal of the coast, and the joy that can be found in the simple pleasures of life.
