Annotation: Most are modest, some dare to smoke and strike
suggestive poses. Others go so far as to expose an inch of flesh as
they coyly wring seawater from their swim dresses. Enjoy over 100
hand-tinted postcard images, snapped at the turn of the 20th
Century. It was an era when women may have been clothed from head to
toe, but they were women nonetheless. Dressed in the period's best
beach fashions, bold Victorians flirt with the camera, creating
charming and beguiling images.
