EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the joy and connection of an extended French family as they spend a sunny day at the beach in Le Treport, Normandy, circa 1919. The commune, located in the Seine-Maritime department, was a popular holiday destination in the 1910s, and this image showcases the beauty of the area with its picturesque pebbles and shingle shoreline. In the foreground, we see a young woman, likely an aunt, sitting on a blanket with her hat shielding her from the sun. She is surrounded by her siblings, their spouses, and their children, creating a vibrant scene of intergenerational connection. In the background, we see the older generation, including grandparents and perhaps great-grandparents, enjoying the day with their family. The father, wearing a straw hat, stands in the water with his son, teaching him how to throw a pebble into the sea. The mother, with her back to the camera, is seen playing with her younger children, building sandcastles or collecting shells. The family's laughter and happiness are palpable, and the image serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of family and the simple pleasures of a day at the beach. This photograph, taken on the 10th of September 1919, is a beautiful snapshot of a moment in time, and a testament to the enduring bond of family, even across generations. The memories created on this day at Le Treport, Normandy, would have been cherished for years to come.
