EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th-early 20th century, capturing a lively street scene on Sandgate Road in Folkestone, Kent. The image showcases an avenue bustling with activity, as people go about their daily lives in this charming British seaside town. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to the picture, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the past. It is fascinating to observe how fashion has evolved since then – men wearing top hats and waistcoats while women don elegant Victorian dresses. Folkestone's popularity as a holiday destination during this era becomes evident through the numerous tourists strolling along the road. With its picturesque landscape and proximity to the south coast, it was an ideal spot for summer holidays. As we gaze at this postcard-like snapshot of history, we can't help but feel transported into another time. The Edwardian architecture lining both sides of Sandgate Road serves as a reminder of Britain's rich architectural heritage. Although little is known about who captured this moment or when exactly it was taken, one thing remains certain: this photograph encapsulates the essence of a bygone era. It allows us to appreciate how much our world has changed over time while also cherishing those aspects that have remained constant throughout centuries - like our love for travel and exploration.
