EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and prepare to be amazed by this extraordinary sight! Behold the intrepid and generously-sized Edwardian woman, offering up her very own bathing costume for your use at the seaside resort. Yes, you read that correctly - this humorous postcard from the early 20th century invites us to laugh at the notion of sharing a swimsuit with another woman. But wait, there's more! This woman's bathing attire is quite the spectacle itself. With a bright red, skimpy number that leaves little to the imagination, she tops it off with a fashionable hat to shield herself from the sun. It's a wonder how she manages to balance the hat and the offer at the same time. This comic postcard is a delightful reminder of the quirky and humorous ways in which the British approached the seaside holiday during the Edwardian era. The playful image pokes fun at the idea of communal bathing and the societal norms of modesty, making it a must-have for any collection of vintage postcards or seaside memorabilia. So, take a moment to appreciate the audacious woman on this postcard and the lighthearted humor it brings to our day. And who knows, maybe it'll inspire you to share a laugh or two with your friends and family during your next beach vacation.
