EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the early 1900s, a young woman named Lucy Auerbach, affectionately known as "Boo," is seen taking a refreshing dip in the North Sea at Scarborough, North Yorkshire. The image captures the essence of a carefree summer holiday by the British coastline. The photograph was taken from inside a bathing hut, providing a unique perspective of the scene. The young woman is seen fully immersed in the cool, blue water, her figure gracefully outlined against the white foam that washes over her. The sea stretches out before her, its horizon dotted with ships and boats, while the shoreline is lined with other bathing huts and the occasional wheeled chair. The young woman's youthful energy and joy are palpable, as she revels in the simple pleasure of a swim in the sea. Her laughter and splashes add to the lively atmosphere, creating a sense of camaraderie and fun among the other teenagers and women who are also enjoying the day at the beach. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of leisure and relaxation, particularly during the summer months. It also offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the traditions and activities that were popular during the early 1900s. The image is a cherished piece of history, capturing a moment in time that continues to resonate with viewers today. This photograph is part of The Patricia Aubrey Collection, which is available for licensing through Mary Evans Prints Online. It is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs, particularly those that focus on the British seaside and the experiences of young people during the early 20th century.
