EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Bathers at the Lido of Venice" transports us back in time to the early 20th century, capturing a moment of leisure and relaxation on the picturesque shores of Venice. The image showcases a vibrant scene filled with bathers enjoying a sunny day by the sea. The Lido of Venice, known for its stunning beaches and luxurious resorts, served as an idyllic getaway for locals and tourists alike during this era. In this particular snapshot taken between 1910-1930, we witness a diverse group of individuals indulging in the pleasures offered by this enchanting location. The fashion choices displayed here provide fascinating insights into bathing attire trends from that period. Women don elegant one-piece swimsuits adorned with frills and bows, while men sport classic striped swim trunks paired with straw hats to shield themselves from the sun's rays. These outfits not only reflect prevailing styles but also highlight societal norms surrounding modesty and decorum. The composition beautifully captures both land and sea elements. A small boat gently floats on calm waters nearby, adding charm to an already picturesque seascape. The sandy beach stretches out invitingly towards the horizon, beckoning visitors to immerse themselves in its warm embrace. Transportation plays a crucial role in setting the scene; it is evident that water serves as both means of travel and recreation for these bathers. Whether arriving via gondolas or other boats seen dotting the shoreline or simply taking pleasure cruises along Venetian canals – waterways are integral components of life in this city built upon them. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph captured by an unidentified author affiliated with Alinari, we are transported back through time to experience firsthand how people enjoyed their summers at one of Italy's most iconic destinations - basking under golden sunshine amidst breathtaking natural beauty.
