EDITORS COMMENTS
is an enchanting group portrait illustration from the early 20th century, circa 1901, showcasing the leisurely pastime of sea bathing. In this image, eight elegant women are depicted, each gracefully clinging to the bath rope that anchors them to the shore. The calm, relaxed facial expressions on their faces convey a sense of tranquility and enjoyment as they immerse themselves in the therapeutic benefits of the sea. This charming illustration is part of the "March of the Women" collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, and although it is not to be confused with the Ladies' Sea Baths Company, it perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the era's leisurely pursuits. The women's fashionable attire, consisting of high-necked bathing costumes and wide-brimmed hats, adds to the allure of the scene. The illustration is a beautiful example of the artistic style of Albert Robida, a renowned French caricaturist and illustrator, who was known for his wit and satire. However, in this piece, he showcases his ability to capture the essence of everyday life with a delicate touch and a keen eye for detail. The bath rope serves as a symbol of connection and unity among the women, as they come together to enjoy the simple pleasure of a day at the seaside. This evocative image invites us to take a moment to appreciate the beauty of the past and the timeless allure of the sea.
