EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting series of silhouette cut outs by H.L. Oakley, titled "When Great Grandfather Went to Sea." This collection of 19th century seaside scenes transports us to an era of leisurely vacations and charming simplicity. The journey to the coast begins with a carriage ride through picturesque countryside, followed by the excitement of boarding a train, its steam engine puffing smoke as it whisks travelers away to their seaside destination. Once there, the silhouetted figures enjoy the simple pleasures of donkey rides along the sandy shore, promenading along the pier, and taking in the breathtaking views of the vast, blue sea. Each silhouette is meticulously crafted by H.L. Oakley, capturing the essence of Victorian seaside life with a timeless charm. From the elegant ladies in their parasols to the mischievous children building sandcastles, these scenes evoke a sense of nostalgia and wonder. This collection offers a glimpse into the history of seaside holidays, a popular pastime for Victorians seeking respite from their daily routines. The seaside was a place of relaxation, enjoyment, and connection, and these silhouettes beautifully encapsulate the spirit of that bygone era. Whether you're an history enthusiast, a lover of the sea, or simply seeking a moment of escape, "When Great Grandfather Went to Sea" is a must-see collection that is sure to delight and inspire.
