The Bathe at Newport
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a nostalgic moment in American history, taking us back to the summer of 1858. This print from Harper's Weekly Vol. II transports us to the picturesque coastal town of Newport, Rhode Island. The image showcases a scene filled with joy and leisure as bathers enjoy their day by the sea. In this charming engraving, we see men, women, and children frolicking in the water while donning their bathing costumes of the time. The bathing machines line the shore, providing privacy for those changing into their swimsuits before venturing into the refreshing waves. The artist behind this snapshot remains unknown but has masterfully captured both the playfulness and tranquility that define seaside holidays. As we gaze upon this historical gem now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), it serves as a reminder of simpler times when people sought solace in nature's embrace. This image not only offers a glimpse into 19th-century America but also evokes feelings of nostalgia for an era long gone. It invites us to imagine ourselves transported back in time—immersing ourselves in an idyllic summer holiday by the sea. As we admire "The Bathe at Newport" let us appreciate its significance as both a work of art and a window into our shared past—a testament to how humans have always found solace and joy amidst nature's beauty throughout history.
