EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Holiday Haunts, Hythe" takes us back in time to the picturesque coastal town of Hythe in England. Created by Percy Robert Craft in 1884, this print captures the essence of a bygone era. The image showcases several iconic landmarks that make Hythe so enchanting. In the foreground, we see the imposing Martello Towers standing tall against the backdrop of a serene sea. These historic fortifications served as defensive structures during Napoleon's reign and add an air of mystery to the scene. Further along, our eyes are drawn to the oldest house in town with its charming architecture that whispers tales from centuries past. The towering spire of Hythe Church pierces through the sky, reminding us of its significance as a spiritual center for generations. As we explore deeper into this artwork, we stumble upon hidden gems such as Lympne Castle and Saltwood Castle nestled amidst lush greenery. The military canal meanders gracefully through the landscape while a smugglers lighthouse stands sentinel on guard against illicit activities. Every detail within this engraving invites us to imagine ourselves strolling along sandy beaches at Sandgate or uncovering secrets within crypts. It is truly a visual feast that transports us back to an era where holiday haunts were filled with adventure and discovery. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only Craft's artistic talent but also provides insight into how people sought leisurely escapes over a century ago.
