EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of Dover, taken in 1832 and reproduced around the turn of the 20th century, offers a glimpse into a bygone era. The image showcases the bustling beach scene along the coast of Kent, with its iconic castle standing proudly in the distance. Bathing machines dotting the Channel waters add an element of charm to this picturesque landscape. The bathing machines, popular during that time period, were used as private changing rooms for individuals seeking to enjoy a dip in the sea while maintaining their modesty. These unique contraptions allowed people to enter directly from shore and be transported safely into deeper waters. David Cox's watercolour painting serves as inspiration for this print, capturing both the natural beauty and architectural grandeur of Dover. Cox was renowned for his ability to depict landscapes with remarkable detail and skillful use of color. As we gaze upon this historic photograph, we are transported back to a simpler time when seaside holidays were cherished moments filled with joy and relaxation. The cliffs towering above provide a dramatic backdrop against which families frolic on sandy shores or take leisurely strolls along the coastline. This image is not only an exquisite piece of art but also a testament to our enduring fascination with travel and exploration. It reminds us that even centuries ago, people sought solace by immersing themselves in nature's wonders – whether it be through visiting fortifications like Dover Castle or simply basking in the sun at one of England's beloved seaside destinations like Dover itself.
