EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures a delightful scene from the early 1900s, showcasing the guests of Gainsborough House Guesthouse, located at 3 St. Simons Road in Southsea, Portsmouth, Hampshire. The guests, dressed in their finest Edwardian attire, gather on the pavement, exuding a sense of excitement and joy. To the left, Number 2 - Waverley House Guesthouse can be seen in the background. The children, dressed in their Sunday best, play and laugh, while their parents and other family members look on with pride and amusement. The women wear elegant dresses and hats, while the men don suits and bowlers. The net curtains of the guesthouses flutter gently in the breeze, adding to the idyllic coastal scene. This photograph offers a glimpse into the social and holiday life of the early 1900s, a time when families would travel to seaside resorts like Southsea to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy the fresh sea air. The guests of Gainsborough House and Waverley House seem to be making the most of their holiday, creating cherished memories that would last a lifetime. The Edwardian era is known for its smart and refined aesthetic, and this photograph perfectly encapsulates that sense of elegance and sophistication. The guests' attire, the beautiful guesthouses, and the seaside setting all come together to create a scene that is both timeless and evocative of a bygone era.
