Rows of women in wool bathing suits stand along the sand in this panoramic view, their stockings, caps and rolled-up sleeves a reminder of how seaside fashion has changed. Photographs like this one were often made as souvenirs or postcards for resort towns, when bathing was becoming a popular leisure activity. Panoramic cameras, which swept across a wide field of view on film, were a common way to capture large groups of people at public events. The picture offers a glimpse of beach culture in an era when women's swimwear was far more covered than it is today.
