A.W. Cutler :: A Novel Holiday. The waters of Conwy Bay could not compete with a couple’s beach reading on the “sands"—as the photographer called them—at Penmaenmawr, North Wales. This photograph was probably purchased for the article "A Short Visit to Wales,” published in December 1923. In it, author Ralph A. Graves attributed the unwillingness of certain tourists to visit Wales, “one of the most alluring regions of the British Isles,” to pronunciation problems. “The average American traveler,” he wrote, “lacks the courage to wrestle with such place names as Bettws-y-Coed, Bodelwyddan, Dwygyfylchi, Clwyd, Llandudno, Pwllheli, and Pen-y-Gwryd.” / src: National Geographic
