A Victorian sea-side outing, with children palying on the beach, a nanny or mother standing by them holding a boook, and, in the backgorund, a man, perhaps their father, with a top hat and cane. The children are making a sand-castle. They are all fully dressed, including shoes; the girl wears striped stockings.

A Web search suggested E. W. Coleman as the author of the poem, By the Sea. The picture is signed A.D.B. and C.W.S.
