EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a leisurely afternoon stroll along the picturesque Folkestone Leas in England, circa 1914. The Leas, a popular seaside promenade, is adorned with lush greenery, providing a beautiful backdrop for the group of elegantly dressed women and their companions. The women, some pushing prams and others holding parasols, are dressed in the fashionable attire of the time, adding to the historical significance of the image. The serene scene contrasts sharply with the turbulent events unfolding in Europe at the time, as the First World War was in full swing. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the simple pleasures and innocence of life before the devastating conflict. The Leas, located in the coastal town of Folkestone, has been a beloved destination for visitors since the Victorian era. Its proximity to the sea and stunning views of the English Channel have made it a popular spot for leisurely walks, picnics, and relaxation. This photograph, taken circa 1914, provides a glimpse into the past and offers a glimpse into the lives of people during a time of relative peace and tranquility before the world was forever changed by the events of the First World War. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of the British seaside and the importance of cherishing moments of leisure and relaxation in our daily lives.
