EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "SWIMSUITS, 1892" takes us back to a bygone era of fashion and leisure. The wood engraving, originally featured in the esteemed "Police Gazette" publication in 1892, showcases a snapshot of late 19th-century American beach culture. The image transports us to a bustling dock on the North American coast, where men and women are seen enjoying their daily lives with an invigorating dip in the ocean. The swimmer depicted wears a traditional cap while donning one of the fashionable swimsuits popular during that time period. The scene exudes an air of recreation and marine adventure as we witness another figure diving fearlessly into the water. This glimpse into history reminds us of how swimming was not only considered a form of exercise but also served as a social activity for both men and women. The wood engraving captures the essence of this era's beach culture with its attention to detail and intricate lines. It is evident that this piece holds significance beyond its aesthetic appeal; it serves as a historical artifact documenting early bathing practices. As part of The Granger Collection from New York, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into America's past through art. Whether you're interested in fashion history or simply captivated by vintage imagery, "SWIMSUITS, 1892" provides an intriguing window into daily life at the turn of the century.
