EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the picturesque coastal town of Folkestone on a sunny day in May 1920. The image captures a truly unique sight - llamas and alpacas gracefully strolling along the sandy beach, seemingly unfazed by their unusual surroundings. The monochrome tones lend an air of timelessness to this snapshot from the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty of these majestic creatures against the backdrop of crashing waves and pebbled shores. Their elegant postures and thick coats create a striking contrast with their tranquil seaside setting. Taken by Central News, renowned for capturing significant moments in history, this photograph offers a glimpse into a different era when such scenes were undoubtedly rare occurrences. It serves as a reminder that even amidst our bustling modern world, there are still pockets of unexpected charm waiting to be discovered. As we gaze upon this intriguing image from Europeana Photography's collection, we can't help but wonder about the story behind it. Were these llamas and alpacas part of an exotic circus act or perhaps brought over as pets? Regardless of their origins, they have left an indelible mark on this quaint English beachscape. This TopFoto print is not just an artistic representation; it is also a testament to our enduring fascination with animals and how they can bring joy even in unlikely places.
