Details

A barefoot bather poses with her arms extended, preparing to dive beside a wooden beach cabin. She wears a dark bathing costume with a belt and a gathered bathing cap. The cabin’s wooden panels and large wheels form the background of this vertical seaside portrait.

The printed caption reads “105 Le plongeon”, beside a heart-shaped A.S. monogram. The divided reverse bears the publisher’s credit “Edition A. Schiers, à Forest-Bruxelles”, pencil handwriting and an address in Antwerp. An orange Belgian stamp carries overlapping postal cancellations.

This original vintage postcard shows pronounced age toning, scattered spots, surface scratches and wear to the edges and corners. Dark ink marks and partial postal impressions are visible on the picture side, particularly towards the upper right. The reverse also shows staining and handling marks. Please examine both scans, which show the actual card offered for sale.

A collectible postcard for those interested in historical bathing costumes, beach cabins and seaside imagery.
