In a whimsical scene straight out of a fairytale, a Dutch rabbit finds solace in the comfort of a deckchair. This charming illustration by William Heath Robinson captures the consequences of indulging in pure relaxation. Meanwhile, Emperor Haile Selassie I of Abyssinia takes respite from his royal duties and enjoys a seaside holiday at Eastbourne. The picturesque beaches of England, like Devon's Beer Beach with its array of colorful deckchairs, become havens for people seeking tranquility under the warm sun. As we venture further back in time, we stumble upon an enchanting moment captured before 1916: two Dutch rabbits basking leisurely in their own deckchairs at Comprigney House in Truro, Cornwall. The Gill family must have cherished this delightful sight as they reveled in simpler times. Deckchairs hold more than just nostalgic memories; they evoke images from all corners of the United Kingdom. Barry Island's sandy shores witness families laughing and lounging on these iconic seats while enjoying the breathtaking views offered by Vale of Glamorgan. Not limited to landlocked destinations, even aboard MV Reina del Pacifico people find solace on deck as they sip tea amidst gentle waves and endless horizons. And across the English Channel lies Greve de Lecq in Jersey during the vibrant 1930s when beachgoers sought refuge from bustling city life atop comfortable deckchairs. Whether it be royalty or ordinary folk alike, there is something undeniably captivating about reclining on a deckchair – an invitation to unwind and embrace life's simple pleasures against scenic backdrops that stretch far beyond our imagination.
