The images are mounted on a grey album page, accompanied by handwritten annotations in Dutch, which translate to 'San Sebastian' and 'View from the hotel'. These photographs offer a glimpse into the travel practices of the early twentieth century, documenting the coastal topography of the Basque region through a personal lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition of each frame focuses on the expansive bay, capturing the interplay of light across the water and the silhouette of the surrounding hills. The perspective suggests an elevated vantage point, likely from a hotel room overlooking the Concha Bay. The monochromatic palette emphasises the atmospheric conditions of the day, with soft transitions between the sky and the sea. The inclusion of foreground elements, such as the silhouettes of trees and utility poles, provides a sense of scale and situates the viewer within the physical space of the photographer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a collection, these prints function as a visual diary. They record the specific aesthetic of European seaside travel during the interwar period. The arrangement on the page reflects the common practice of scrapbooking, where personal memory and geographical documentation intersect. The clarity of the prints, despite their small format, allows for an examination of the coastal features and the urban development visible along the shoreline. This work provides a record of a specific time and place, preserved through the medium of amateur photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/memory-of-a-voyage-rene-magritte\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMemory of a Voyage - René Magritte — René Magritte\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Charlotte Alida Boelen-Matthes","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58728930279759,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58728971993423,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58728972026191,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58728972058959,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58728972091727,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58728972124495,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58728972157263,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58728972190031,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58728972222799,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58728972255567,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58728972288335,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58728972321103,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Drie-gezichten-op-de-kust-van-San-Sebasti-n_Poster_CompositorV1_1788977142485.jpg?v=1788977916","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/sv\/products\/drie-gezichten-op-de-kust-van-san-sebastian-charlotte-alida-boelen-matthes","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
