1. Title: A Moment of Relaxation at the Lucas Holiday Camp, Norbreck, Blackpool (1911) 2. Description: This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the essence of a man's simple pleasure during a summer holiday at the Lucas Holiday Camp in Norbreck, Blackpool, in 1911. The man, dressed in a collared shirt and trousers, sits comfortably on a deckchair outside his tent, with a book in hand, seemingly engrossed in its pages. The sun casts a warm glow on the scene, adding to the serene atmosphere. The tent, with its neatly arranged entrance and guy ropes, stands as a symbol of the temporary home he has created for himself during his stay. The camp, known for accommodating young men of good moral character, offered a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and connect with nature. The seaside location, with its sandy beach and the vast expanse of the sea in the background, further enhances the sense of tranquility and relaxation. 3.
