EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a young woman lost in thought as she stands windswept by the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex, England, during the autumnal month of September in 1962. The iconic Art Deco building, designed by architects Erich Mendelsohn and Serge Chermayeff, serves as a striking backdrop to the scene, its clean lines and geometric shapes contrasting beautifully with the natural elements of the seafront and the turbulent sea beyond. The De La Warr Pavilion, built between 1934 and 1935, is a testament to the architectural innovation and design sensibilities of the 1930s. Its unique blend of modernist and Art Deco styles, with its distinctive curved roof and expansive glass walls, has made it a beloved landmark and a symbol of Bexhill-on-Sea's rich cultural heritage. The young woman in the photograph, dressed in a simple yet elegant 1960s outfit, seems to be lost in her own world, oblivious to the bustling activity around her. The windswept look in her hair and the melancholic expression on her face add to the sense of introspection and contemplation. The photograph, taken in September 1962, captures a moment of quiet reflection amidst the grandeur of the De La Warr Pavilion and the raw power of the sea. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the beauty and timelessness of the past, and the enduring allure of the seaside town of Bexhill-on-Sea. It invites us to pause and appreciate the simple pleasures of life, and to find beauty in the everyday moments that surround us.
