EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by Alfieri on 1st February 1928, takes us back in time to the charming coastal town of Torquay in Devon. The image beautifully depicts a scene along The Promenade, where people of all ages stroll leisurely against the backdrop of the seafront. As we delve into this monochrome masterpiece, our eyes are drawn to the diversity of individuals present - children skipping with joy, adults engaged in conversation, boys running with boundless energy, men engrossed in their thoughts, and girls radiating innocence. Each person seems immersed in their own world yet connected through their shared experience on this picturesque promenade. The South West coast's natural beauty is evident as waves gently crash against the shore while seagulls soar above. This snapshot from Europeana Photography offers a glimpse into life during the roaring twenties - an era characterized by change and liberation. Alfieri's skillful composition transports us to a simpler time when seaside walks were cherished moments for relaxation and connection. It reminds us that amidst our busy lives today, taking a moment to appreciate nature's wonders can bring solace and rejuvenation. This photograph serves as both a historical artifact and an artistic testament to human connection across generations. It invites us to reflect on how much has changed since that winter day in 1928 while reminding us that some things remain timeless – like the joy found in walking along The Promenade at Torquay.
