Nets Paddling Sea Side Shrimping Shrimps
EDITORS COMMENTS
A Timeless Family Tradition: Shrimping by the Sea in the 1920s This evocative photograph captures the simple joy and connection to nature that comes with a day at the seaside in the 1920s. The image, titled 'Shrimping by the Sea,' shows a family of four happily engaged in the age-old practice of shrimping at the water's edge. The father, dressed in a striped shirt and trousers, wades into the shallow water, expertly maneuvering a wooden paddle to create a shallow pool for his children. The children, dressed in swimsuits and boots, eagerly dip their nets into the pool to capture the tiny shrimps that have been driven towards the shore. The scene is set against the backdrop of the vast, open sea, with the sun casting a warm, golden glow over the water. The family's belongings are scattered on the sand nearby, including a large wicker basket to hold their catch and a foldable wooden chair for the mother to sit on as she keeps watch over her little ones. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the simple pleasures of family life and the connection to nature that can be found at the seaside. Shrimping was a popular pastime in France during this era, and this image captures the essence of the experience - the laughter, the shared sense of accomplishment, and the joy of spending a day by the sea with loved ones.
