EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from Ostend, Belgium's bustling beach scene circa 1909. The image showcases a lady in a voluminous hat and dress, seated confidently atop one of the distinctive horses used to pull the bathing huts in and out of the water. Each hut, numbered for easy identification, is adorned with horizontal stripes, adding a playful touch to the serene seascape. Bathers, both men and women, can be seen enjoying the inviting surf, some wading in the shallows while others venture further out to swim. The tide ebbs and flows, creating intricate patterns in the sand as the horses and their handlers work in unison to move the huts. The scene exudes an air of leisure and relaxation, as the sun casts a warm glow over the resort town. The horses, powerful and sturdy, seem to embody the spirit of the era, as they effortlessly navigate the sand and water. Ostend, a popular Belgian coastal resort town, was known for its vibrant beach culture during the early 1900s. The use of horses to transport bathing huts was a common sight, adding to the unique charm of the beach experience. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, where the simple pleasures of a day at the beach were the focus. The intricate details of the scene, from the lady's elegant attire to the striped bathing huts, transport us back in time, inviting us to imagine the sights, sounds, and sensations of a day spent at the beach in Ostend over a century ago.
