Bather Bathing Beauties C1910 Diaphanous Garters Gingerly Slippers Swimsuit Veil
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the essence of bathing beauty culture in the early 1910s. The elegant bather, dressed in a bold red swimsuit and a dainty cap, exudes an air of sophistication and grace. She wears a diaphanous pink veil, adding an element of mystery and allure to her appearance. With a gentle and deliberate step, she crosses the threshold between land and sea, her gaze fixed on the horizon. The cross-strapped swimsuit, a departure from the bulky and restrictive garments of the past, allowed women greater freedom of movement and expression. The addition of garters and slippers, while functional, also added to the feminine appeal of the bathing suit. This photograph is a testament to the changing attitudes towards women's bodies and their role in society during this period. Bathing beauties, like the one depicted here, represented a new ideal of femininity, one that celebrated the beauty and allure of the female form. The image also serves as a reminder of the rich history of bathing culture and the evolution of swimwear. From the modest bathing costumes of the Victorian era to the more revealing suits of the 20th century, the way women chose to present themselves at the beach reflected the social norms and values of their time. This photograph, with its timeless beauty and intriguing subject matter, is a must-have for any collection focused on the history of women's fashion, bathing culture, or the evolution of swimwear.
