EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Baby's First Lesson,' dates back to the early 1900s, around 1905. The image, captured on a dry plate negative glass measuring 65 x 85 inches, showcases a precious moment in the lives of young girls as they embark on their first swimming lesson at the coast. Dressed in modest, high-necked dresses and bloomers, the toddlers and their older sister appear focused and determined as they paddle in the shallow waters, their faces reflecting a mix of excitement and apprehension. The scene takes place on an American beach, likely a popular holiday destination during the era. The girls' holiday attire, complete with sun hats and parasols, suggests a day spent enjoying the seaside with their family. The image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the simple pleasures and pastimes of the early 20th century. This photograph, a cherished piece of heritage art, is part of the vast collection housed at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. It serves as a testament to the enduring bond between family, nature, and the joy of learning new skills. The image's timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers, transporting us back to a simpler era and reminding us of the importance of cherishing precious moments in our lives.
