EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from June 1925 takes us back in time to the picturesque coastal village of L Etacq, located on the north-western side of Jersey in the Channel Islands. The image, captured as part of a GWR publicity campaign, beautifully showcases the idyllic beach and bay that have long been cherished by locals and visitors alike. As we gaze upon this snapshot from nearly a century ago, we are transported to a sunny summer day where tranquility reigns supreme. The golden sand stretches out before us, inviting barefoot exploration and leisurely strolls along the shore. A handful of people can be seen pottering about on the sand – perhaps families enjoying a day at the beach or friends relishing in each other's company. The crystal-clear waters of the sea gently lap against the coast, creating a soothing soundtrack for those lucky enough to witness this serene scene. The bay curves gracefully into view, its natural beauty enhanced by nature's brushstrokes. It is easy to imagine oneself reclining under an umbrella or diving headfirst into these refreshing waters. This timeless photograph encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to humanity's enduring love affair with nature's wonders. As we admire this glimpse into history through our modern lens, let it remind us to cherish our own moments spent basking in sun-drenched beaches and exploring pristine coastlines – just as those fortunate souls did back in June 1925 on Jersey's enchanting shores.
