Hastings Pier, Sussex - The Pier on a Quiet Day (1892),
EDITORS COMMENTS
an evocative photograph from the Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time to a serene and historical moment in the English seaside town of Hastings. The image captures the pier in its early days, before the hustle and bustle of modern tourism, with its elegant ironwork structure stretching out into the tranquil waters of the English Channel. The pier, a popular Victorian-era attraction, is almost deserted, save for a horse-drawn carriage making its way along the wooden planks. The horse, draped in a blanket to ward off the chill, looks out at the scene before it with a sense of calm, as if acknowledging the beauty of the moment. The pier's pavilion, a grand Victorian edifice, stands proudly at the end, its ornate details and intricate designs a testament to the craftsmanship of the era. The pier's supporting pillars, adorned with intricate ironwork, cast long shadows over the quiet scene, adding to the sense of history and nostalgia. The sky above is clear and blue, with a few fluffy clouds scattered about, reflecting in the calm waters below. The pier's reflection in the water creates a mirror image of the scene, adding to the surreal beauty of the moment. This photograph, taken in 1892, offers a glimpse into the past, a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of a day at the seaside were enough to bring joy and relaxation. The image invites us to take a moment to appreciate the beauty of history and the tranquility of a quiet day by the sea.
