EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Surf Bathing, between 1900 and 1905,' showcases the carefree spirit of summer vacations during the early 20th century in the United States. The image, captured at an unidentified beach in Newport, Rhode Island, depicts a group of young girls engaging in the popular pastime of surf bathing. Dressed in modest one-piece swimsuits, the girls are seen paddling in the shallow waters, their direct gazes fixed on the camera with an air of excitement and curiosity. The photograph, which measures 8 x 10 inches and was likely taken on a dry plate glass negative, offers a glimpse into the leisurely activities of the time. The girls' clothing, with high necklines and long sleeves, reflects the modest fashion trends of the era. The use of rope to secure their belongings on the sandy shore adds to the rustic charm of the scene. The photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of the seaside as a holiday destination and the simple joys of recreational activities. The image, from the vast collection of the Library of Congress, is a valuable piece of American heritage art that transports us back in time and invites us to appreciate the beauty and simplicity of a bygone era.
