EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'The Crab Hunt' by an unidentified artist, transports us back in time to circa 1910 as we witness the Edwarding family engaged in an age-old seashore tradition - crab hunting. The image is a beautiful testament to the simple joys of a day spent at the beach, where the focus is on connection with nature and each other. The Edwarding family, dressed in their Sunday best, have gathered around the water's edge, their determined expressions reflecting their shared excitement and anticipation. The children, bundled up in mittens and hats, hold their makeshift crab traps, while their parents prepare to wade into the shallow waters. The scene is idyllic, with the sun casting a warm glow over the sand and sea, and the gentle waves lapping at the shore. Crab hunting was a popular pastime during this era, and the Edwarding family's outing is a reminder of the close bond that could be formed between family and friends through shared experiences. The hunt itself was a fun and often competitive activity, with the successful capture of a crab bringing great joy and satisfaction. This photograph, brought to us by Mary Evans Prints Online, is a treasure trove of history and nostalgia, inviting us to reflect on the enduring appeal of the seashore and the simple pleasures of a day spent with loved ones.
