EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the sunny shores of Exmouth in July 1936. From the vantage point of Orcombe Point, we are treated to a breathtaking view of this charming seaside town nestled in Devon's picturesque coastline. The image perfectly captures the essence of a quintessential British summer, with its vibrant atmosphere and idyllic beach scene. As our gaze sweeps across the photograph, Exmouth Beach stretches out before us, seemingly endless as it disappears into the distance towards Exmouth itself. The golden sand glistens under the warm sun, inviting visitors to bask in its glory and enjoy all that this coastal gem has to offer. Intriguingly, rows upon rows of motor cars dotting the shoreline catch our attention. A testament to an era long gone by, these vintage vehicles evoke a sense of nostalgia and transport us back to a time when road trips were filled with excitement and adventure. Completing this delightful tableau are numerous beach huts lining the shore. These colorful little structures stand proudly against the backdrop of sea and sky, providing shelter for those seeking respite from their sandy escapades or simply looking for a spot to relax and soak up some rays. This stunning snapshot not only showcases Exmouth's natural beauty but also offers glimpses into life during 1930s Britain – where carefree days at the beach were cherished moments amidst an ever-changing world.
