Description
This updated and reworked family photograph is of my wife's step-grandmother with two of her children and was taken in 1914, ie. immediately before the First World War, when the gaiety of family life at the seaside bore no hint of the horrors yet to come, when many families were torn apart.The photo, taken by my wife's grandfather, has an unusual degree of informality for that period and I have endeavoured to make a connection with present day life using the colour theme. It was taken at a seaside resort on the Norfolk coast in England.
