EDITORS COMMENTS
Roughing it at Brighton: Ally Sloper's Unconventional Seaside Holiday (1891) In this vintage photograph, Ally Sloper, a popular comic character of the late 19th century, is seen enjoying a hearty lunch on the pebbled shore of Brighton Beach. The image, titled "Roughing it at Brighton," captures the essence of a humorous yet resourceful approach to holidaying during an era when luxury accommodations were out of reach for many. Ally Sloper, a well-known character from the satirical magazine "Judy," was often depicted as a working-class man with an irrepressible spirit and a knack for making the best of any situation. In this photograph, he is shown cooking up a hearty meal of sausages and mash for his family on an open fire, with the tide gently lapping at the shore in the background. The year was 1891, and Ally Sloper and his family had been refused by the majority of hotels in Brighton due to their inability to pay the high prices. Instead, they decided to make the best of their situation and set up camp on the beach. The image captures the family's determination to enjoy their holiday despite the lack of conventional accommodations. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the ingenuity and resilience of the working class during the Victorian era. The image also highlights the appeal of the British seaside holiday, which continues to be a popular destination for families to this day. As the sun begins to set over the English Channel, Ally Sloper pours drinks for his family, and they sit down to enjoy their simple yet satisfying supper on the beach. The photograph is a testament to the enduring spirit of making the most of one's circumstances and the simple pleasures of a family holiday by the sea.
