EDITORS COMMENTS
"This image captures the essence of American beauty and allure in the early 20th century. The woman, dressed in a stylish yet modest bathing costume, sits confidently on a jetty overlooking the calm waters of a serene lake. With a black turban adorning her head and stockings covering her legs, she exudes an air of sophistication and glamour. The year is 1912, a time when the concept of the 'Bathing Beauty' was gaining popularity in American culture. The woman's costume, with its high waistline and fitted bodice, reflects the fashion trends of the era. The use of black fabric for the turban adds a touch of mystery and intrigue, while the stockings suggest a level of refinement and adherence to social norms. The woman's pose, with one hand resting on her hip and the other holding a fan, exudes a sense of self-assuredness and seductiveness. Despite the passing of time, this image remains a powerful reminder of the enduring allure of the Bathing Beauty archetype. The woman's timeless beauty and the nostalgic charm of the setting transport us back to a bygone era, inviting us to reflect on the history and evolution of American beauty ideals." This photograph is a rare and valuable glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the cultural and historical significance of the Bathing Beauty in American society during the early 1900s. It is a must-have for anyone with an interest in fashion history, women's studies, or American cultural history.
