Bathing Dives Diving Obesity Over Weight Post Card Postcards Sea Side Striped
EDITORS COMMENTS
Dear Ma, I Wish You Were Here: A Playful Dive into the Past This charming comic postcard, titled "Ma Diving!", captures a delightful moment of joy and playfulness at the seaside. The image, produced in 1906, features an overweight woman in a striped bathing costume, taking a bold plunge into the clear blue waters of the sea. Her expression is one of pure excitement and happiness, as she lets go of the wooden diving board and submerges herself in the water. The fashion of the time is beautifully represented through the woman's bathing costume, which was a popular choice for women during the early 20th century. The high-waisted, full-skirted design accentuates her figure, while the horizontal stripes add a playful and contemporary touch. The bathing costume was a symbol of leisure and freedom, allowing women to enjoy the water and the sun in a way that was previously uncommon for them. The setting of the postcard is reminiscent of a bygone era, with the simple wooden diving board, the calm sea, and the sandy beach in the background. The image invites us to imagine the carefree atmosphere of a seaside holiday, where people came to relax, unwind, and connect with nature. Despite the woman's overweight appearance, the postcard does not make light of her body or portray her in a derogatory way. Instead, it celebrates her joy and her ability to embrace the moment and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. This postcard is a testament to the fact that body positivity and self-acceptance are not new concepts, but have been present throughout history. The "Ma Diving!" postcard is a wonderful reminder of the past, and a reminder that no matter our size or shape, we all deserve to enjoy the beauty and joy of life. It is a precious piece of history that invites us to appreciate the past, while also inspiring us to live in the present and embrace our own unique qualities.
