EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back to the enchanting Babbacombe Beach in Devon during the 1890s. The image, captured by an English photographer of the 19th century, showcases a slice of Victorian seaside life in all its glory. The print measures 15x19 cm and is part of a private collection. Babbacombe Beach was a popular destination for holidaymakers seeking respite from their bustling city lives. Situated near Torquay, this idyllic coastal resort offered sandy shores and picturesque shingle banks that stretched as far as the eye could see. Intriguingly, the photo features several bathing machines and huts dotting the shoreline. These quaint structures were used by beachgoers to change into their swimming attire discreetly before taking a dip in the refreshing sea waters. Families can be seen paddling along the water's edge, enjoying moments of leisure under clear blue skies. This snapshot encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also reflects upon an era when seaside holidays became increasingly fashionable among Victorians. It evokes nostalgia for simpler times spent at one with nature - where sand between your toes and laughter-filled swims were cherished memories waiting to be made. With its timeless charm, this photograph from Bridgeman Images serves as a window into history, reminding us of our enduring love affair with coastal retreats even today.
