EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Surf Bathing at Easton's Beach, Newport, R.I. between 1900 and 1905,' transports us back in time to the early 1900s at the picturesque Easton's Beach in Newport, Rhode Island, United States. The image, captured on a dry plate glass negative measuring 8 x 10 inches, showcases a group of holidaymakers engaging in the popular pastime of surf bathing. Dressed in their swimsuits and armed with a rope, the holidaymakers are seen wading into the cool, inviting waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The surf, with its gentle waves, provides the perfect backdrop for their leisurely activity. The sea, a striking contrast to the sandy beach, adds to the scenic beauty of the location. Surf bathing, a recreational pastime that gained popularity during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, involved riding the waves on a surfboard. This photograph offers a glimpse into the simple pleasures and joys of a bygone era, where the focus was on relaxation and enjoying the natural beauty of the coast. The Library of Congress, a treasure trove of American heritage art and historical documents, houses this remarkable photograph. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural and historical significance of the coastal towns of New England and the importance of preserving the memories of the past for future generations.
