Bathers (Sylt) by Gelpke
While the trend has barely changed, little details show the differences in taste. The swimsuits were a lot more modest than the ‘barely there’ styles of today’s fashions. These 1950′s bathing beauties prepare for action at the Margate Lido – they seem to be partaking in some form of dressing-up game, the exact details, rules and outcome sadly long lost.

Bathing machines
Beautifully elaborate bathing machines from a series of lantern slides entitled, Bygones. The bathing machines are clearly Victorian, but the swimwear worn by the women sunning themselves on their ledges suggest the photograph was taken some time later, around the 1920s.

Clarence Sinclair Bull :: Vintage and original pre-code Hollywood pin-up photograph of silent film and early talkie actress Edwina Booth, early 1930’s.
The press snipe on verso reads: “She sighs by the seaside! Edwina Booth, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer featured player, gives her impression in blackout of what the well dressed bathing belle wears when she takes her daily dip.”
