Afraid Bathing Beauties Diving Goodness Nose Periscope Thumbs Voyeurism
EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a whimsical moment in history, as a bathing beauty playfully taunts a periscope with a cheeky expression on her face. The contrast between the delicate femininity of the female diver and the mechanical coldness of the periscope creates an intriguing dynamic that speaks to themes of voyeurism and defiance.
The bright red bathing cap adds a pop of color to the scene, drawing attention to the woman's confident pose as she thumbs her nose at the periscope. Her words, "Goodness, I'm not afraid of that - I've seen too many in my time!" suggest a sense of experience and resilience, challenging societal norms around fear and vulnerability.
In this historical snapshot from 1915, we are reminded of different types of beauties that existed during this era - those who were unafraid to push boundaries and challenge expectations. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when diving into the ocean was an act of freedom and joy.
Overall, this print is sure to spark conversations about gender roles, empowerment, and self-assurance. It serves as a reminder that beauty comes in all forms - even when defying something as intimidating as a periscope.
