Glamour Girls by the Seaside
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a vibrant and captivating illustration from the era of peace and leisure, showcasing the pleasure and joy that women found in the simple pleasures of sea bathing during the late 1930s. The colorful lithograph, created by Henry De Hem, is a stunning representation of the carefree spirit of the time, exhibited at Walker's Galleries in 1939. The illustration depicts a group of elegant and stylish women, dressed in fashionable swimsuits, enjoying the sun, sand, and sea. They are engaged in various activities, from lounging on the beach to splashing in the waves, each exuding a sense of glamour and sophistication. The serene and picturesque seaside setting is a stark contrast to the looming shadows of the approaching war, which would soon engulf Europe and disrupt the peaceful way of life. The illustration is a beautiful reminder of the simple pleasures and joys that people cherished during the interwar period. The women in the illustration are a testament to the spirit of the era, which valued leisure and enjoyment, even in the face of uncertainty and adversity. The use of bright colors and bold lines in the illustration adds to its charm and allure, making it a nostalgic and evocative piece of art from the 20th century. The illustration is titled "Les Cocottes Aux Bains De Mer" and is part of a series of color lithographs by Henry De Hem, which also includes "Les Cocottes Aux Courses." These illustrations capture the essence of the interwar period, a time of relative peace and prosperity before the onset of World War II. The illustration is a valuable historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the importance of cherishing the simple pleasures in life, even in the face of adversity.
