EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the carefree moment of two women, likely a mother and daughter, enjoying a refreshing bath in the shallow waters of Riva Bella beach in Normandy, France, during the summer of 1921. The women are dressed in fashionable yet practical swimsuits of the era, with one wearing a striped two-piece and the other donning a one-piece with a high waistline and long sleeves. Both women wear sun hats or bonnets to shield themselves from the sun, adding a touch of elegance to their seaside leisure. The scene exudes a sense of relaxation and connection between the two women, as they lie in the shallow water, their laughter and conversation carried away by the gentle waves. The soft sandy beach and clear blue waters of the English Channel create a picturesque backdrop, making for an idyllic holiday memory. The photograph, taken in August 1921, offers a glimpse into the past and the simple pleasures of a bygone era. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, were a time of great cultural and social change, and this image serves as a reminder of the joy and freedom that could be found in the simple act of taking a dip in the sea with a loved one.
