C.1905: A Joyous Scene of Young Ladies Bathing and Frolicking at the Seaside (Mary Evans Picture Library / Mary Evans Prints Online) This photograph, taken circa 1905, transports us back in time to an era of carefree holidays and simple pleasures. The image shows a group of young women enjoying a day at the beach, their laughter and joy evident in their playful expressions. The scene is set on a sandy shore, where bathing machines line the water's edge. In the foreground, a young man reclines on a towel, his gaze fixed on the young ladies as they frolic in the water. Their modest swimsuits, which imitate the dresses of the period, are a testament to the changing attitudes towards swimwear during the Edwardian era. The women wear high-waisted, one-piece suits with long sleeves, collars, and skirts that reach down to their knees. Some even don espadrilles to protect their feet while wading in the shallow waters. The bathing machines, which were popular during this time, provided privacy for those who wished to bathe discreetly. The women would change into their swimsuits inside the machines before making their way to the water. This allowed them to maintain their modesty while enjoying the seaside. The photograph captures a moment of pure happiness and relaxation, as the young ladies revel in the joy of the water and the sun on their faces. The man in the foreground, with his voyeuristic gaze, adds an intriguing element to the scene, hinting at the complex social dynamics of the time. Overall, this image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history of bathing and swimwear during the Edwardian era.
