EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Jolly fine girls here" captures the essence of a bygone era. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this print showcases a group of women enjoying their holiday by the seaside. The image is part of a private collection and was originally featured on a postcard from the early 20th century. In this snapshot, we see several elegantly dressed ladies standing on a cliff top overlooking the sea. They are adorned in fashionable hats and dresses, exuding charm and sophistication. Their flirtatious demeanor suggests that they are relishing in their freedom away from societal constraints. The scene is filled with nautical elements such as ships, sailboats, and even a tugboat in the distance. These vessels symbolize both adventure and escape – perfect companions for these carefree women seeking respite from their daily lives. While some may view this image through modern lenses as sexist or promoting outdated gender roles due to references to girdles and corsets, it serves as an important historical document showcasing fashion trends of that time period. Overall, this evocative photograph transports us back to an era where holidays were cherished moments filled with joyous encounters. It reminds us of simpler times when people would gather at picturesque locations like Dover's cliffs to enjoy each other's company amidst breathtaking scenery.
