EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1913, capturing a moment in history when beach bathing machines were all the rage. Developed during the Victorian era, these huts on wheels provided bathers with privacy and seclusion as they changed into their swimming costumes before being wheeled down to the sea. Initially, men and women bathed separately, but as societal norms evolved, mixed bathing became acceptable. The photograph was taken in Ostend, Belgium on 19 June 1913 by the Bain News Service, one of America's earliest news picture libraries. It showcases a group of European tourists enjoying their leisurely activities along the coast. In this scene, we witness a charming interaction between a male swimmer and a female tourist who have met at one of these unique beach bathing machines. As we delve into this snapshot from over a century ago, it offers us glimpses into an era where seaside vacations were cherished moments for holidaymakers seeking respite from their daily lives. The image not only captures historical significance but also provides insight into socializing customs and fashion trends prevalent during that time. Preserved by the Library of Congress' archives, this print serves as a testament to human society's ever-evolving lifestyle choices while reminding us of our timeless desire for relaxation and enjoyment amidst picturesque coastal landscapes.
