EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 1900s with this stunning print of Ostend, Belgium. The image captures the bustling seafront promenade known as La Digue, leading towards the iconic Kursaal Pleasure Palace.
In the foreground, we see rows of charming bathing huts and beach machines lining the sandy shore, while tourists and visitors stroll along the boardwalk enjoying a day at the seaside. The scene is alive with activity and excitement, as people soak up the sun and take in the fresh sea air.
The Kursaal itself stands proudly in the distance, a grand entertainment venue that was once a hub of social life in Ostend. With its ornate architecture and luxurious amenities, it was a popular destination for those seeking leisure and pleasure.
This snapshot from over a century ago offers a glimpse into a bygone era when Ostend was a thriving resort town on Belgium's coast. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when vacations were spent lounging on sandy beaches and exploring vibrant waterfronts.
Whether you have fond memories of visiting Ostend or simply appreciate historical photography, this print is sure to transport you back in time to an age of elegance and charm along La Digue towards the Kursaal Pleasure Palace.
