EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Rosalba: The Bathing Beauty," showcases a young, cheeky-looking woman named Rosalba, sitting playfully on the end of a red diving board at the edge of a crystal-clear pool. Dressed in a skimpy, yet alluring red swimsuit, Rosalba exudes confidence and mischief, her eyes sparkling with delight. The year is circa 1914, and the photograph captures the essence of the carefree spirit of the early 20th century. Rosalba's outfit consists of a two-piece swimsuit with a high-waisted bottom and a top that leaves her midriff exposed. She wears a pair of red slippers and a cross adorns her neck, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to her playful attire. The diving board, with its ornate design, provides a striking contrast to the simplicity of her swimsuit. The photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the history of bathing beauties and the evolution of swimwear. The image is reminiscent of the popular "Bathing Beauty" postcards that were popular during this era, which showcased women in their swimsuits on beaches and pools. The photograph is a testament to the beauty and allure of the past, and serves as a reminder of the carefree spirit and sense of fun that defined the early 1900s. The types of swimsuits worn by women during this time were quite different from today's styles, with garters and stockings often worn with the suits to keep them in place. The swimsuits were designed to be functional, yet fashionable, and the women who wore them embodied the spirit of adventure and freedom that came with the newfound popularity of swimming and water sports. This photograph of Rosalba, the Bathing Beauty, is a beautiful and intriguing glimpse into the past, and serves as a reminder of the rich history and evolution of swimwear and the women who wore them.
