EDITORS COMMENTS
Greetings from Ramsgate: A Charming Snapshot of Seaside Fashion and Safety from the Early 20th Century This delightful postcard, titled 'Greetings from Ramsgate,' transports us back in time to the charming Kent seaside resort during the early 1900s. The image captures a pretty lady bather in the shallow waters, gracefully holding aloft a lifebelt as she wades in the surf. Her daring attire, consisting of a high-waisted bathing costume and a fashionable bonnet adorned with a ribbon, would have been considered rather racy for the time. The scene exudes a sense of jolly fun and carefree spirit, as the lady seems to be enjoying the refreshing waters of the English Channel. The waves gently lap at her feet, and the sun casts a warm glow over the scene. The presence of the lifebelt, however, serves as a reminder of the importance of safety during bathing, which was a growing concern during the early 20th century. The postcard, with its historical significance and charming depiction of seaside fashion and leisure activities, makes for an intriguing and fascinating addition to any collection. The image invites us to imagine the stories of the people who once enjoyed the pleasures of Ramsgate's shores, and to appreciate the evolution of bathing costumes and safety measures over the decades.
