Template:Tourism/Images of a holiday island in 1888

By the Edwardian era Jersey's tourism industry was booming, as people from England and France sought out the attractions of a low-cost, warm and sunny holiday venue. Many postcards and photographs of the time survive, but the delightful drawings of the island by French artist 'Mars', in his book on the beaches of Brittany and Jersey published in 1912 create one of the most enduring impressions of the carefree life of a holiday island a century ago.
