EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the essence of a young girl's carefree joy during her holiday by the sea in Southwold, Suffolk, in the summer of 1912. The young girl, identified as Violet Auerbach, stands confidently on the steps of a bathing hut, dressed in a long-sleeved jacket, a knee-length skirt, and a wide-brimmed sun hat. Her long, flowing hair is swept up, revealing her radiant smile. Southwold, a charming coastal resort in East Anglia, was a popular holiday destination during the early 1900s, and the pebbly beach and sandy dunes provided endless entertainment for children. In this image, Violet seems to be lost in thought, perhaps daydreaming about the adventures that await her on the beach. The bathing huts, which were a common feature of British seaside resorts during this period, provided a sense of privacy and security for holidaymakers. They allowed families to change in and out of their swimming costumes without having to expose themselves on the beach. The photograph is a beautiful snapshot of a bygone era, capturing the simple pleasures of a holiday by the sea. Violet's timeless outfit and the quaint bathing huts transport us back to a simpler time, when the joys of a seaside holiday were enough to make even the most ordinary moments seem magical.
