What a scene. It looks so utterly indulgent and they look so content, yet there must have been a good deal of anxiety about baring the body. Was the cover-up to protect the skin or for modesty, I wonder. Great photos.
Beautiful! I think that today's swimsuits reveal too much, but dang, I to have to be so covered up in the hot sun ... I would have been in the water a lot back then.
The woman reclining in the chair at the back is doing a good job of pretending to be asleep, but the camera caught her eyes open in the second shot. Wonderful images.

Love the lady in back catching a nap. There must have been a lovely breeze to be so relaxed.

How absolutely elegant they are! It does appear they are having the time of their lives!
Perfect photos of a day at the sea. The captions definitely add to the importance of being earnest.
Wonderful photographs - such detail and such clarity.

Seems like this is the first post I've seen with bath robes as coverups for this week's prompt. Looks like a fine day on the beach!
They look very elegant and relaxed. Those were the days!

These pictures are historical treasures! I happen to know those beaches and it can be quite chilly there. Thanks for sharing.
"Downton Abbey" goes to the beach. These are brilliant photos. Love them!

Wonderful photos, I can't imagine laying in the hot sand in those long costumes.
