EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Improvements on the Kentish Coast" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the transformation of the coastline in England. The engraving, part of a private collection, captures an illustration originally featured in The Illustrated London News on October 22nd, 1881. The image presents a panoramic view of the Kentish Coast, highlighting significant enhancements made to its infrastructure. Starting from Hythe Marine Parade and extending westward, we witness an impressive embankment that symbolizes progress and development. Architectural marvels dotting this coastal stretch catch our attention as we explore further eastward towards Hythe and Sandgate. Notably, standing out amidst this picturesque landscape is Prince of Wales - a testament to his influence and patronage during that era. As our gaze follows along the shoreline, we are reminded of how crucial maritime activities were for these coastal towns - Folkestone being one such hub. The photograph evokes a sense of awe at witnessing history unfold before our eyes. It serves as a reminder of mankind's ability to shape their environment for both practical purposes and aesthetic appeal. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the significance behind these improvements on the Kentish Coast – forever frozen in time for future generations to admire and learn from.
