EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Large Group on the Beach' (New Beach), captured in 1947, showcases an extraordinary moment in time as an impressive gathering of individuals, unknown to each other, came together for a group photograph at the British seaside. The scene unfolds on a shingle beach, where families and friends sit and relax, enjoying their holidays. A groynes protects the coastline, adding texture and depth to the image. The photograph was masterfully taken by a photographer who used a whistle to signal the group to assemble, resulting in this stunning mass gathering. The 1940s setting is evident in the fashionable attire of the holidaymakers, with women wearing elegant dresses and men donning smart suits and hats. The era's social history is encapsulated in this single image, offering a glimpse into a bygone era. The Large Group on the Beach photograph is a testament to the power of community and the shared experience of enjoying a day at the seaside. The image, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a rights-managed piece, inviting us to reflect on the past and appreciate the simple joys of a group outing to the beach.
