"Boulogne, from the Fancy Bathers series" is a chromolithograph card from the "Fancy Bathers" series of trading cards issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. in 1889. The card depicts a woman in a red bathing suit standing on a beach, pointing towards the sea with her right hand. The woman's pose, attire, and setting are evocative of late 19th-century seaside fashion and leisure. The card is a charming example of the Victorian era's fascination with seaside vacations and the evolving trends in swimwear.
