EDITORS COMMENTS
Torquay in Autumn, 1929: A Haven of Warmth and Serenity in the English Seaside Resort In this enchanting sketch by renowned artist Helen McKie, published in The Bystander magazine in 1929, we are transported to the picturesque coastal town of Torquay in Devon, South England. As the autumn leaves begin to fall and the chill of winter approaches, Torquay remains an unyielding bastion against the terrors of the English climate. Nestled in the heart of this idyllic scene is the Palace Hotel, a grand establishment that has long been a favorite among British society for its warm hospitality and mild climate. The hotel grounds, bathed in the soft sunlight, offer a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The gentle breezes that rustle through the trees and the warmth that still lingers in the air make Torquay one of the most sought-after destinations in the British Isles during the autumn months. As the leaves transform into a riot of reds, oranges, and yellows, visitors flock to the coast to take in the breathtaking views and indulge in the leisurely pace of life that Torquay offers. Helen McKie's skilled brushstrokes capture the essence of this idyllic scene, inviting us to imagine the sights, sounds, and sensations of a bygone era. The Palace Hotel, with its elegant facade and manicured gardens, stands as a testament to the enduring allure of Torquay as a popular seaside resort. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the simple pleasures that come with the changing of the seasons and the timeless appeal of the English Riviera.
