EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the summer of 1945, this print by George Greenwell transports us back to a simpler time along the picturesque coast of Hastings, East Sussex. In this charming scene, we see a group of women donning their fashionable bathing costumes as they enjoy an idyllic day out at sea. Perched gracefully in a fishing boat alongside them is a rugged fisherman, his pipe adding an air of authenticity to the moment. The contrast between the glamorous ladies and the scruffy yet hardworking fisherman creates an intriguing visual juxtaposition. The women's stylish swimwear showcases the fashion trends of that era with its modest yet alluring design. Their wide-brimmed hats protect them from the sun while lending an air of sophistication to their seaside outing. As they sit amidst nets and fishing gear, it is evident that these women are not afraid to embrace adventure and break societal norms by engaging in traditionally male-dominated activities. Their carefree expressions exude joy and fun as they soak up the sun-drenched atmosphere. This nostalgic photograph captures both a sense of leisurely pleasure and hints at a world recovering from wartime hardships. It serves as a reminder that even during challenging times, people find solace in simple pleasures like spending quality time with friends on sandy shores.
