EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a young man's summer holiday at the seaside in August 1915. The image, titled "Young man (Albert Auerbach) on holiday on the beach at Brighton, Sussex," depicts a dapper Albert Auerbach standing on the pebbly shore of Brighton Beach, with the iconic Brighton Pier looming in the background. The pier, a popular attraction for visitors, stretches out into the English Channel, providing a sense of adventure and excitement. Albert is dressed in a fashionable swimsuit of the era, with a high waistline and short legs, revealing his toned physique. He gazes out at the vast expanse of the sea, the waves gently lapping at his feet. The pebbles beneath his feet and the distant sound of seagulls add to the sensory experience of a day at the beach. Brighton, located on the south coast of England in Sussex, was a popular seaside resort during the early 1900s. People from all walks of life would flock to the coast to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy the simple pleasures of a day at the beach. Swimming, sunbathing, and leisurely strolls along the pier were just a few of the activities that drew visitors to the coast. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a simpler time, when the simple joys of a day at the beach could provide a welcome respite from the stresses and strains of everyday life. Albert Auerbach's relaxed and carefree expression captures the spirit of summer holidays and the enduring appeal of the British seaside.
