Cast Iron English Channel Holiday Makers Promenade Resort Seafront
EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Deal Pier from the Esplanade" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a picturesque scene of this Victorian holiday resort. The print, skillfully engraved by Newman & Co. , captures the essence of a bustling seaside town along the English Channel. The focal point of the image is Deal Pier itself, an impressive structure made entirely of cast iron. Built in 1864, it served as a beloved promenade for locals and visitors alike. Stretching out into the sea, it provided a perfect vantage point to admire the breathtaking views and enjoy leisurely strolls. However, beneath its idyllic appearance lies a tragic history. During World War II, Deal Pier met its untimely demise when it was struck by a mined Dutch ship called Nora. This engraving serves as both a nostalgic tribute to its former glory and a reminder of the devastating impact war can have on even peaceful coastal towns. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness holidaymakers enjoying their time at this popular resort destination. The esplanade is filled with people taking leisurely walks along the shore while others soak up sun on deck chairs or engage in lively conversations with friends and family. This historical print transports us back to an era where seaside holidays were all about relaxation and rejuvenation amidst stunning natural beauty. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an intriguing glimpse into England's rich cultural heritage.
