Bystander: A Whimsical Encounter between a Bathing Belle and Neptune by Harry Woolley, 1930 This image, titled "Bystander," by British illustrator Harry Woolley, transports us back to the carefree days of the 1930s. The photograph depicts a bathing belle, elegantly dressed in a two-piece swimsuit and a stylish bathing cap, engaged in a casual conversation with the mythological figure of Neptune, the Roman god of the sea. Neptune, with his iconic trident in hand, appears in his regal attire, complete with a flowing beard and a crown adorned with pearls and coral. The bathing belle, seemingly unfazed by the presence of the sea deity, sits comfortably on a large rock in the middle of the sea. The water around them shimmers in the sunlight, creating a serene and idyllic atmosphere. The flapper-esque bathing costume, with its high-waisted bottoms and strapless top, is a testament to the fashion trends of the era. The playful pose and the relaxed expression on the bathing belle's face add to the light-hearted and whimsical nature of the scene. This image, published as a masthead in the Bystander magazine in 1930, offers a glimpse into the holiday spirit of the 1930s. It invites us to imagine a world where mythological figures and ordinary people could coexist, and where the pleasures of the sea and the joys of a day at the beach were cherished experiences. Harry Woolley's "Bystander" is a charming and nostalgic reminder of a bygone era, and a testament to the power of art to transport us to another time and place.
