EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 1920s transports us back in time to Perranporth, a picturesque beach in Cornwall. The image showcases twelve bathing "belles" gracefully posed on the sandy shore, their vibrant swimwear contrasting against the monochromatic backdrop. Arranged meticulously by height, six older girls stand proudly alongside five boys and a little girl, creating a charming tableau of seaside camaraderie. The photographer behind this nostalgic snapshot is Arthur William Jordan, whose keen eye for detail beautifully captures the essence of leisurely beach activities during that era. The subjects' swimsuits and swim dresses reflect the fashion trends of the time - modest yet stylish garments designed for both practicality and elegance. As we gaze upon this historical treasure, we can almost feel the warmth of sun-kissed sand beneath our feet and hear echoes of laughter carried by gentle sea breezes. This image evokes memories of carefree holidays spent along Cornwall's stunning coastline - days filled with joyous splashes in the refreshing waves and long walks along endless stretches of pristine beaches. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this photograph serves as an invaluable testament to our enduring fascination with coastal escapes throughout history. It reminds us that while times may change, our love for seaside adventures remains timeless.
