Bathers crowd the sand in the foreground of this panoramic view, with a seaside pavilion rising behind them, a combination that signals how fashionable the shoreline had become as a place for leisure. Wide formats like this one were often chosen to take in the whole scene, from the edge of the surf to the buildings that lined the promenade. Such pavilions typically offered changing rooms, refreshments and shelter, so they tell us as much about the social rituals of seaside holidays as they do about the coast itself. Look closely at the figures to see how the crowd was dressed and how people spread out across the beach.
