EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative cover image from the October 1914 edition of The Tatler magazine captures the devastating impact of the German bombardment of Scarborough during the early days of the First World War. The photograph, taken in the aftermath of the attack on the East Coast of England, shows a ruined house in Wykeham Street, Scarborough, which tragically claimed the lives of Mrs Barrett and her two young children. The scene of destruction and despair is a stark reminder of the civilian casualties and widespread damage caused by the shelling. The Great War had initially been perceived as a conflict between armies, but this event marked a turning point, as the civilian population began to bear the brunt of the fighting. The image on the cover of The Tatler serves as a poignant testament to the human cost of the war and the devastation it wrought upon communities across Europe. The photograph's inclusion on the magazine's cover was a powerful statement, drawing attention to the realities of the conflict and the need for action to protect civilians. This historical image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a valuable record of a pivotal moment in world history.
