On a Strip of Shore
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a humorous cartoon by the renowned British satirical artist Fougasse, depicting a scene from the Riviera in the 1930s. The illustration captures a moment of surprise and amusement as a couple, dressed in gowns and beach towels, gaze around them at the scantily clad sunbathers on the beach. The husband and wife, both with quizzical expressions on their faces, seem to be taken aback by the revealing swimsuits that were becoming popular during the era. However, as they continue to look around in disbelief, they eventually decide to join in the trend and strip down to the bare minimum themselves. The cartoon cleverly captures the sense of humor and the spirit of the times, as people embraced the new fashion for sunbathing and swimming in minimal clothing. The illustration, dated 1931, is a testament to the changing attitudes towards sunbathing and swimwear during the interwar period. The Lido, a popular beachfront promenade along the Mediterranean coast, became a symbol of the Riviera's glamour and sophistication, attracting visitors from all over Europe. Fougasse's "On a Strip of Shore" offers a lighthearted and entertaining glimpse into this era of beach holidays and carefree living. The cartoon's vibrant colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, transporting us back to the sun-soaked shores of the Mediterranean and the playful spirit of the 1930s. Fougasse's skillful use of satire and wit adds depth to the image, making it a delightful addition to any collection of vintage illustrations or cartoons. Overall, "On a Strip of Shore" is a charming and amusing snapshot of a bygone era, capturing the essence of sunbathing, swimwear, and the allure of the Riviera in the 1930s.
