EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of leisure and relaxation during the Edwardian era, as a stylishly dressed woman takes a break at Bridlington Spa in Yorkshire, England, in 1914. The Edwardian period, named for King Edward VII who reigned from 1901 to 1910, was a time of opulence, elegance, and social refinement. The popularity of spas and seaside resorts reached new heights during this era, as people sought to improve their health and wellbeing, as well as enjoy the social scene. Bridlington Spa, located on the east coast of Yorkshire, was a renowned destination for visitors seeking the therapeutic benefits of the sea and the mineral-rich waters of the Bridlington Spring. The grand building, with its ornate architecture and beautiful gardens, offered a range of facilities, including bathing pools, a Turkish bath, and various treatments. In this photograph, the Edwardian lady, dressed in a fashionable yet practical outfit, sits on a wooden bench, her feet submerged in the warm waters of the pool. She holds a book in one hand and a parasol in the other, indicating that she intends to spend the afternoon reading and relaxing. The serene expression on her face and the peaceful surroundings convey a sense of tranquility and contentment. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the daily life and social customs of the time, providing a valuable historical record of the Edwardian era and the pleasures of a bygone age.
