EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 1900s and experience the joy and simplicity of a day at the beach as depicted in this photograph from Manly Beach, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The image, circa 1908, captures the essence of an Edwardian holiday, with holidaymakers reveling in the sandy shores and crystal-clear waters. The scene is set with a multitude of bathers, both men and women, engaged in the popular pastime of surf bathing. Clad in their period attire, they bravely wade into the sea, paddling in the gentle waves, their laughter and excitement echoing through the air. The sense of freedom and relaxation is palpable as they escape the hustle and bustle of city life. Surrounding the bathers, colorful deckchairs are neatly arranged, inviting weary sunbathers to rest and soak up the sun. The sand, still warm from the day's heat, provides a perfect backdrop for the holidaymakers, who have come to Manly Beach to enjoy a much-needed break from their daily routines. The serene waters of the Tasman Sea stretch out before them, providing a picturesque setting for a day spent by the sea. The iconic Manly Surf School, visible in the background, adds a touch of adventure to the idyllic scene. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Australian beach holiday, a tradition that continues to draw visitors from around the world to this day. With its golden sands, clear waters, and endless sunshine, Manly Beach remains a cherished destination for those seeking a respite from the stresses of modern life.
