EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting coastal town of Torquay in 1895. The image, extracted from the book "Round the Coast" published by George Newnes Limited, London, transports us to Ansteys Cove, a picturesque location on England's south coast. In this snapshot of history, we see a group of women enjoying a sunny day at this popular seaside resort. Dressed in elegant Victorian attire, they bask in the fresh sea breeze while taking in the breathtaking view of the English Channel. Behind them stands an imposing headland that adds drama to the already stunning landscape. The presence of a bathing machine hints at one of Torquay's most cherished pastimes during that era - sea bathing. These contraptions were used as changing rooms and provided privacy for individuals seeking relief from summer heat through immersion in seawater. Torquay's charm as a coastal retreat is evident even in this monochrome depiction. Its idyllic setting along with its rich literary heritage (as mentioned by its inclusion within British literature) has made it an enduring destination for visitors throughout centuries. This remarkable photograph captures not only Torquay's natural beauty but also offers us a glimpse into life during Britain's nineteenth century coastal heyday. It serves as both an artistic representation and historical record that allows us to appreciate how much has changed while marveling at what remains timeless about this beloved seaside haven.
