EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, a daring couple gracefully glides across the shimmering waters of the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Beirut, Lebanon. The year is estimated to be around 1911, and the backdrop of their aquatic ballet is the elegant Hotel Saint Georges, a historic landmark that once stood proudly along the Beirut waterfront. The Hotel Saint Georges, known as "Le George" to locals, was a symbol of luxury and sophistication during the early 20th century. The grandeur of the hotel is reflected in the image, with its whitewashed facade and red-tiled roof standing tall against the clear blue sky. The couple's water skiing display, a relatively new and thrilling watersport at the time, adds an element of excitement and adventure to the scene. The Lebanese coastline, with its picturesque beaches and crystal-clear waters, has long been a popular destination for travelers seeking relaxation and adventure. The image of the couple water skiing passed the Hotel Saint Georges is a testament to the enduring allure of Beirut's coastline and the joy that water sports can bring. The photograph, taken in the early 1900s, captures a moment in time when the world was changing, and people were embracing new experiences and challenges. The image is a beautiful reminder of the rich history and vibrant culture of Beirut and Lebanon, and the timeless appeal of the sea and water sports. This photograph is a treasure trove of history, showcasing the elegance of the Hotel Saint Georges, the thrill of water skiing, and the beauty of the Lebanese coastline. It is a snapshot of a bygone era, a reminder of the past, and a celebration of the joy and wonder that comes with exploring new horizons.
