I think that this is probably late 1890’s, the child on the right obviously wasn’t going to sit still for the family photos 😀

“New York: Back in the 1890’s a daring young Miss would sport a bathing suit like the one that 18 year old Diane King is wearing at left. In the centre, she is shredding the “coverall” to get down to the modern all-paper bikini which will be seen on the beaches this summer. At right, she’s stepping into the pool at the City Square Motor Inn here to give the suit a proper testing. Reports were that the suit stood up as well in the water as did Diane” (17th June 1968)
About
My wife, bless her tells me that I am rapidly becoming, or perhaps that should read have become a “Grumpy old fart”, so what better forum to spread my doom, gloom and paranoia than WordPress. I also have a love of old pictures, postcards and Edwardian Actresses, in particular Miss Gabrielle Ray which I hope to share at regular intervals. As my collection has grown I have set up another blog which contains only pictures of Miss Ray. Gabrielle Ray Thank you for viewing and comments are welcome.
