Someone in 1898: Let's illustrate these new swimwear patterns we have released
Me, in 2025, sagely nodding: Lesbian polycule on a beach outing

#Ephemera #HistoricalFashion #LGBTmemes

A full page illustration from an old Victorian magazine, colour corrected and crisp. It depicts four adult or young adult women, and two children on a beach. There's a tiny bucket and shovel for one child, everybody is having a fun and carefree time. They are dressed in old fashioned swim or beach wear, which is to say with full skirts, pantaloons, tops with frills and lapels and such, probably in wool. Everybody has their hair done apart from the small children, two are wearing swimming caps, the big fabric gathered kind with bows. Two of the women have their arms linked behind the back of the other in a companionable fashion, which to the gay mind immediately reads as lesbian, since there's no men around and it's funnier that way. Some nice minimalistic line art suggesting a sea shore in the background, too.
