Bathing Posing Suits Swimming Swimsuits Swimwear
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the carefree spirit of childhood during the Edwardian era, as five children don their new swimsuits for a day at the beach in St Malo, France, in 1909. The eldest child, a confident and dapper young boy, stands tall and proud, wearing a high-waisted, two-piece swimsuit with short shorts and a fitted top. His younger brother, with rosy cheeks and an earnest expression, wears a similar suit, but with shorter shorts and a more relaxed fit. Two girls, dressed in modest one-piece swimsuits with high necklines and long sleeves, playfully pose together, their laughter echoing in the salty sea air. The youngest child, a cherubic baby boy, sits contentedly on the sand, his tiny swimsuit barely covering his diaper. The children's swimsuits, with their simple yet elegant designs, reflect the fashion of the time, which emphasized modesty and practicality. Despite the passing of over a century, this timeless image continues to evoke a sense of nostalgia and wonder, transporting us back to a simpler era when the joys of childhood and the beauty of the seaside were the greatest pleasures in life.
