EDITORS COMMENTS
. This enchanting print takes us back to a time when leisurely strolls along the promenade were an integral part of British seaside culture. The scene unfolds on the picturesque seafront of Folkestone, Kent, where people from all walks of life would gather to 'take the air' and bask in the refreshing coastal breeze. The vibrant colors bring this historical moment to life, showcasing men and women elegantly dressed in Edwardian fashion. Their parasols and umbrellas provide respite from the sun as they meander along The Leas – a well-known clifftop walkway that offered breathtaking views of the English Channel. Folkestone was renowned for its popularity as a holiday resort during this era, attracting visitors seeking relaxation and rejuvenation amidst stunning natural beauty. This postcard-worthy landscape captures not only their joyous summer holidays but also serves as a testament to Victorian ingenuity in creating attractive destinations for tourism. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back through time, immersing ourselves in an era long gone yet forever etched into our collective memory. It reminds us how important it is to preserve these glimpses into our past - snapshots that allow us to appreciate both our heritage and how far we have come since those halcyon days by the sea.
