Bathing Belt Clothed Friend Fully Gentleman Piece Poses Swim Wear
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the early 1910s, where we find a young German lady in an elegant one-piece bathing costume with a belt, posing outside a bathing machine with her fully clothed gentleman friend. The scene exudes an air of nostalgia and romance, as the couple enjoys a moment of leisure by the water's edge. The bathing costume, with its high neckline and long sleeves, is a far cry from the revealing swimwear of more recent eras. The belted waistline accentuates the lady's figure, while the gentleman, dressed in formal attire, looks on with admiration. The bathing machine, a popular means of changing and accessing the sea during the Edwardian era, adds to the historical context of the photograph. The image is a testament to the fashion and social norms of the time, as well as the close relationship between the sexes. It is believed that bathing machines were used to provide privacy and modesty, allowing women to bathe in the sea without being seen by prying eyes. The presence of the gentleman friend outside the machine suggests a level of trust and companionship, as well as a sense of chivalry and protection. This photograph is not only a beautiful representation of a bygone era, but also a reminder of the importance of friendship and companionship in our lives. It invites us to reflect on the history of bathing culture and the evolution of swimwear, while also inspiring a sense of nostalgia and wonder.
