EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a timeless moment of joy and innocence as young children indulge in holiday fun at the sea in Eastbourne. Taken on 9 August 1916, this monochrome image transports us back to the early 20th century, allowing us to witness a slice of history through Alfieri's lens. The pier stands tall in the background, serving as a picturesque backdrop for these carefree boys and girls. With their fashion reflecting the trends of that era, they paddle gleefully in the shallow waters, their bare feet splashing playfully. The hats adorning their heads protect them from the sun's rays while adding an element of charm to their ensemble. One cannot help but notice a small boat nearby, perhaps hinting at further adventures awaiting these adventurous souls. Their laughter echoes across time as they revel in the simple pleasures offered by nature's playground. This Europeana photography gem is not just a snapshot frozen in time; it speaks volumes about childhood innocence and unbridled happiness. It reminds us that regardless of how much has changed over the years, some things remain constant – like children finding pure delight in something as simple as paddling by the beach. Alfieri's skillful composition immortalizes this cherished memory forever etched within this photograph, inviting viewers to step into its world and experience firsthand what it meant to be young during those idyllic summer days nearly a century ago.
