EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing a group of swimmers on Bognor beach during the vibrant summer of 1920. The image exudes an air of nostalgia, transporting us back to an era where fashion met leisure by the seaside. With their elegant bathing suits and stylish headwear, these individuals epitomize the fashionable trends of the time. The sandy shore stretches out behind them as they bask in the warm sun, relishing in their well-deserved holiday. Laughter fills the air as they engage in playful banter while enjoying each other's company. The sparkling sea provides a refreshing backdrop for this scene of pure joy and relaxation. Intriguingly, scattered along the shoreline are quaint beach huts that serve as private retreats for those seeking respite from the bustling crowds. These charming structures add character to this idyllic coastal setting. Notably present is a bathing machine—a peculiar contraption used during that period to preserve modesty when changing into swimwear. It stands as a testament to how far we have come since then in terms of societal norms and attitudes towards swimming attire. This remarkable photograph serves as both a historical record and an evocative reminder of simpler times spent at West Sussex's beloved Bognor beach—an enduring symbol of summertime fun, exercise, and carefree moments shared with loved ones amidst nature's beauty.
