EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time at a London party where guests donned bathing costumes from the 19th century. Dr W C Cunnington, an esteemed figure of North London during the Victorian era, hosted this extraordinary event that transported attendees back to a bygone era. The women in attendance were adorned in exquisite bathing dresses, some dating back to before 1850 and believed to be the sole surviving examples from that period. The photograph showcases a remarkable display of bathing costumes spanning both the 19th and 20th centuries. From left to right, we can observe the evolution of fashion through various years: 1867,1877,1883,1886,1890,1895, as well as glimpses into more recent times with styles from1910 and1913. Taken on July12th1936 between two world wars when Europe was undergoing significant changes politically and socially; this image encapsulates not only fashion but also serves as a historical document reflecting life during those turbulent times. Preserved in black and white monochrome tones by Planet News photographers for posterity's sake.
