EDITORS COMMENTS
Ancon, Peru - A Group of Bathers (1908): A captivating image of a lively scene at Ancon Beach, a popular summer resort in the northern district of Lima Province, Peru. The photograph, taken in 1908, showcases a group of bathers enjoying the sun, sea, and sand. The coastal area, with its palm trees and crystal-clear waters, was a beloved destination for Peruvians seeking relaxation and recreation. The bathers in the photograph are seen engaging in various water activities, from swimming and wading to playing in the shallow waters. Some are shielded from the sun with colorful parasols, adding a vibrant touch to the scene. The striped parasols, or sunshades, were a common sight at the beach during this era, providing much-needed relief from the intense South American sun. Ancon Beach, with its rich history and picturesque setting, continues to attract visitors from around the world. This photograph serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life and leisure activities of Peruvians over a century ago. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of the seaside and the simple joy of spending a day at the beach.
