Trouville, from the Fancy Bathers series (N187) issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. 1889

"Trouville, from the Fancy Bathers series" is a chromolithograph from 1889 by William S. Kimball & Company. The image depicts a woman standing on a beach in a fashionable bathing suit, likely at Trouville-sur-Mer, a popular French seaside resort. The woman is shown adjusting a white wrap, with red and black accents, and wearing a spotted bathing costume. The card is part of a series that depicts women in various stylish bathing attire, offering a glimpse into the fashion trends of the late 19th century. This charming piece, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the burgeoning popularity of seaside resorts as a fashionable destination during this period.
