EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of leisure and relaxation for a group of factory girls from Leeds, Yorkshire, England, during the early 1930s. The women are seen lying on a sun bed, their bodies exposed to the warm rays of the sun, as they top up their tans with the aid of sunray treatment. The sunbed, a popular health and beauty trend of the time, was believed to provide numerous benefits, including improving skin complexion and boosting overall health. Despite the sunny scene, the women are wearing goggles to protect their eyes from the intense sun. The use of goggles was a common practice during sunbathing sessions, as the sun's rays could be harmful to the eyes. The setting of the photograph is significant, as it contrasts the women's industrial work lives with their leisure time. Factory work was a common occupation for women in Yorkshire during this period, and long hours spent in factories could take a toll on their health and wellbeing. Sunbathing sessions like this one provided a much-needed break from the monotony and stresses of factory life. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the cultural practices and body ideals of the time. Sunbathing and tanning were becoming increasingly popular, and a tan was seen as a sign of good health and vitality. The image is a reminder of the historical significance of sunbathing and the role it played in shaping body culture in the early 20th century. Despite the joy and relaxation depicted in the photograph, there is a sense of shame associated with the use of goggles. The goggles may have been necessary for sun protection, but they also served to conceal the women's eyes and hide their identities, adding an element of modesty and discretion to their sunbathing session.
