EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the summer of 1913, where donkey rides on the beach at Les Sables-d Olonne in western France were a popular pastime for holidaymakers. The postcard, captured by an unknown French photographer of the 20th century, showcases a scene filled with joy and leisure. In this snapshot of history, we see several women riders wearing fashionable hats as they enjoy their vacation on the sandy shores. The donkeys, patiently carrying their passengers along the coastline, add charm to this nostalgic image. It is evident that this tourist attraction was not only a means of transportation but also a source of entertainment for those seeking respite from their daily routines. The postcard itself serves as evidence of how people communicated during that era - sending greetings and well wishes through beautifully illustrated cards capturing moments like these. This particular photograph has found its place in a private collection and is now shared with us through Look and Learn's archives. As we admire this historical gem, it reminds us of the timeless allure that beaches hold for travelers across generations. It transports us to an era when holidays were cherished escapes from everyday life - an opportunity to soak up sunrays while creating lasting memories amidst stunning natural landscapes.
