Bathing Mittie Morris Reclining Swimsuit Wave
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting Edwardian image captures the essence of leisure and relaxation as a bathing beauty reclines gracefully atop a wave in a vibrant yellow swimsuit. Circa 1910, this photograph transports us back in time to an era of elegance and refinement. The bathing beauty, with her flowing hair and serene expression, embodies the carefree spirit of the seaside. The artist, Mittie M. Morris, expertly captures the play of light and shadow on the water, creating a sense of depth and movement. The gentle curve of the wave beneath the woman's figure adds to the overall sense of harmony and balance. Morris's use of naturalistic tones and soft focus lends a dreamlike quality to the scene. The yellow swimsuit, a bold and daring choice for the time, adds a pop of color and draws the viewer's eye to the woman's slender form. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the seaside and the timeless beauty of a woman at ease with herself and her surroundings. The Edwardian era may be long gone, but the image of a bathing beauty reclining on a wave continues to captivate and inspire us.
