Seaside Bathers in Striped Swimwear – Colour Vintage Postcard No. 3561

A woman in a dark bathing costume stands in the shallows, her bathing cap tied in a yellow bow. Behind her, two moustached men pose in striped swimsuits, one with his arms folded. The pale blue sea and sky set off the dark costumes in this vertical colour postcard, numbered 3561 at the lower left.

The divided back is printed in green and bears the mark “Aqua Photo, Paris”. A Belgian one-centime stamp sits at an angle beneath a circular postmark. The handwritten address is in Antwerp.

Condition: The corners are worn, with small areas of surface paper missing along the top and side edges. A crease and a faint ring-shaped mark are visible in the sky at the upper left. The reverse shows age toning and pencil marks. Both scans show the postcard offered for sale.
