EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled "View of Torquay, c. 1890 - 1900" takes us back in time to the charming seaside resort of Torquay in England's South West. The print showcases a picturesque view of the town's bustling harbor and bay, with an array of sailing boats gracefully gliding across the glistening waters of the English Channel. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this popular Victorian-era holiday destination, known as the English Riviera. The quaint town is nestled against a backdrop of rolling hills and features an inviting quayside lined with colorful buildings that exude coastal charm. Torquay holds historical significance as it was home to renowned crime novelist Agatha Christie, who drew inspiration from its idyllic surroundings for her famous murder mysteries. This print allows us to envision how Torquay looked during Christie's time, evoking a sense of nostalgia and curiosity about what stories unfolded within these very streets. As we gaze upon this timeless image from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported to an era where leisurely strolls along the promenade and relaxing afternoons by the sea were cherished pastimes. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modernity, there will always be beauty in preserving our connection to history and embracing the allure of coastal towns like Torquay on England's stunning coastline.
