Bathing Bygones Curios Huts Slides
EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide, titled "Bygones" (no. 67), showcases a tranquil scene of women enjoying a day at the beach during the late 1890s. The image, signed by AHT Boswell, transports us back in time as we observe the women sitting outside quaint bathing huts, dressed in modest swimsuits and hats, engaged in leisurely activities. The serene atmosphere is further emphasized by the calm waters and the gentle waves lapping at the shore. The lantern slide, part of the extensive "Bygones" collection created by AHT Boswell, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. The late 19th century was a period of significant social change, and this image captures the essence of a simpler time when life moved at a slower pace. The curiosity and allure of historical artifacts, such as this lantern slide, serve to remind us of the rich history that has shaped our world. The women in the photograph appear to be fully immersed in their surroundings, enjoying the sun, the sea, and each other's company. The bathing huts, with their rustic charm, offer a sense of privacy and protection from the elements. The scene is a testament to the enduring appeal of the beach as a popular destination for relaxation and recreation. This lantern slide is not only a beautiful piece of art but also a valuable historical document. It offers a unique perspective on the past and invites us to reflect on the changes that have occurred over the centuries. The intricate details and the warm colors bring the image to life, making it a captivating addition to any collection of historical curiosities.
