Blankenberghe Bather by Beach Cabin No. 10 – Vintage Postcard Posted in 1924

A smiling bather poses on the wooden platform of a wheeled beach cabin numbered 10. She wears a dark bathing costume, a knotted bathing cap and lace-up shoes, with one hand resting behind her head. The cabin’s large wooden wheels and another bather at the edge of the scene complete this seaside view.

The printed caption reads “Blankenberghe – Baigneuse”, with the reference 1203 at the lower right. The reverse bears the printer’s credit “Héliotypie De Graeve, Gand”, a handwritten address in Ledeberg and the signature “Estelle”. A red Belgian stamp carries a postmark dated 1924.

This original vintage postcard shows age toning, scattered spots, surface marks and wear to the edges and corners. The reverse has yellowing and light staining. Please examine both scans, which show the actual card offered for sale.

A collectible postcard for those interested in Belgian seaside resorts, bathing costumes and beach cabins.
