EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: 'Cartoon, Sketches at Margate, Caught on the Jetty' - This delightful 19th-century print captures the humorous side of a day at the seaside in Margate, Kent. Two Margateers, a couple dressed in fashionable attire, are seen struggling to keep their footing on the jetty as they are caught in the midst of a windy day at the seaside. The woman clutches her parasol for dear life while her companion tries to shield himself from the wind and the encroaching waves. The high tide and the waves crashing against the jetty add to their predicament, making it seem as though they might be marooned. The comic element of the scene is heightened by the expression of worry and exasperation on their faces, as they are clearly having trouble enjoying their day at the seaside. The intricate details of the print, from the rippling water and the cresting waves to the folds of their clothing, showcase the skillful artistry of the cartoonist. This charming print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when a day at the seaside meant embracing the elements and finding joy in the simple pleasures of life.
