EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past with this charming image of a portable bathing tent for changing at the beach, as seen through the lens of a 1920s photographer. The tent, held up by a head with a viewing opening, offers a modicum of privacy for beachgoers during the undressing and dressing process. With pockets inside for stowing clothes, this ingenious invention allowed for a more modest and convenient experience at the seaside. The scene is set on a sunny day at the beach, where a deckchair sits nearby, inviting relaxation and leisure. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, were a time of innovation and excitement, and this portable tent is a testament to the ingenuity of the era. The image brings to mind the simple pleasures of a day at the beach during this bygone era. The use of a portable changing tent was a practical solution for maintaining privacy and modesty, especially for women and children. The addition of the viewing opening allowed for a peek at the ocean while getting dressed or undressed, adding a touch of convenience to the beachgoing experience. This photograph, available from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past and transports us back to a time when the simple joys of a day at the beach were enough to bring happiness and relaxation.
