EDITORS COMMENTS
Lead, oh lead me to the Lido - Venice-Super-Mare, 1911. This enchanting photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, as bathers don their colorful costumes and prepare to take a dip in the crystal-clear waters of the Venice Lido, Italy. The scene exudes a sense of carefree joy and relaxation, as the sun casts a golden glow over the sandy shoreline. The Venice Lido, a narrow sandbar separating the Adriatic Sea from the Venetian Lagoon, has been a popular tourist destination since the late 1800s. In the early 1900s, it became a favorite spot for Europe's elite to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy the simple pleasures of the sea. The bathers in this photograph, dressed in their Edwardian-era costumes, are a testament to the fashion of the time. Women wore long, high-waisted bathing suits with long sleeves and high necklines, while men donned shorts and tank tops. These costumes, while practical for swimming, also served to maintain a sense of modesty and decorum. The 1910s were a time of great change and progress, as the world entered the modern age. Yet, in this photograph, we are transported back to a simpler time, where the pleasures of the sea and the company of loved ones were all that mattered. This image, captured in 1911, is a beautiful reminder of the rich history and culture of Venice and the allure of the European Riviera during the Edwardian era. Whether you're planning a trip to Italy or simply looking to escape the everyday, let this photograph transport you to the shores of the Venice Lido and the joy of a day at the beach.
