EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "On the Bluff at Long Branch, at the Bathing Hour" takes us back to 19th century America. Captured by an unknown photographer and published in Harper's Weekly in August 1870, it showcases a picturesque scene of women enjoying their leisure time on a beach in New Jersey. The image depicts a group of elegantly dressed females standing on the sandy shore with flags waving proudly against the windy backdrop. Their bathing costumes reflect the fashion trends of that era, as they gracefully embrace both style and modesty. The wood engraving technique used adds depth to this historical snapshot, enhancing its charm. Long Branch's scenic beauty is showcased through this photograph, highlighting its status as a popular seaside destination during that time. The Metropolitan Museum of Art now houses this remarkable piece within its collection. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image from our past, we are transported to an era where people sought solace by immersing themselves in nature's wonders. It serves as a reminder of how leisurely activities like swimming were cherished amidst changing times and evolving societal norms. Through this photo print, Winslow Homer captures not only the essence of Long Branch but also paints a vivid picture of American life during the late 19th century.
