Bathers Bathing Costume Beach Rough Seas Seafront Splash Spray Swimmers Swimming Costume Wash Wave Waves Alfieri Hastings Pier Life Saver Lifeguard Sea Defences

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Alfieri, taken on 21 March 1934, we witness the official beach bathing attendant diligently fulfilling his duties amidst treacherous weather conditions. As rough waves crash against the sea defences, creating a mesmerizing spray and wash of water, the attendant stands tall with a watchful eye over the beachgoers. The image transports us back to an era when swimmers donned their traditional bathing costumes, braving the elements for a refreshing dip in the sea. Despite facing challenging circumstances, these brave souls find solace in Hastings Pier's inviting waters. Amidst this picturesque scene lies our hero - the lifeguard. Clad in his distinctive uniform and armed with essential life-saving skills, he remains vigilant even during such turbulent times. His unwavering dedication to ensuring everyone's safety is commendable. This monochrome masterpiece not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to human resilience and determination. It reminds us that even when faced with adversity or rough seas both literally and metaphorically speaking – there are always those who will rise above it all to protect others. Alfieri's photograph from Europeana Photography evokes nostalgia while showcasing the timeless beauty of nature's power juxtaposed against man-made structures. It serves as a reminder that no matter how fierce or unpredictable our surroundings may be, there will always be individuals like this official beach bathing attendant who selflessly devote themselves to safeguarding lives along our beloved seafront
