EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating between approximately 1890 and 1900, presents a picturesque view of The Embankment and Kursaal (Cursaal) in Ostend, Belgium. The image, richly colored and reminiscent of a bygone era, invites us to take a step back in time. The Embankment, a grand promenade along the North Sea coast, is adorned with elegant Victorian-style buildings and lush greenery. The promenade was a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, offering breathtaking views of the sea and the opportunity to enjoy leisurely strolls. In the foreground, the Kursaal (Cursaal), a large, ornate building, stands proudly. Originally built as a casino and dance hall, it was a hub of social activity and entertainment. The name "Kursaal" is derived from the German words "Kur" (cure) and "Saal" (hall), reflecting the belief that the sea air and social activities offered by the building could provide a cure for various ailments. The photograph also showcases the early days of swimming culture in Ostend. Swimmers, both men and women, can be seen braving the chilly North Sea waters, dressed in their period attire. The presence of the lifeguard on duty, stationed on the beach, adds a sense of safety and assurance. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of Ostend and the role it played as a popular seaside resort during the 19th century. The nostalgic charm of the image transports us to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of a day at the beach were cherished. This coloured print, with its vibrant hues and intricate details, is a treasure trove of historical and cultural significance.
