This chromolithograph from the *Surf Beauties* series, issued by Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company, depicts a woman standing on a beach in Ramsgate, England. The woman, depicted in a stylish bathing costume, is posed in a confident stance, holding a red bathing glove. The use of vibrant colors and fine detail gives a sense of realism to the scene, highlighting the fashionable attire and seaside setting of the late 19th century. This charming card, part of a larger series, exemplifies the growing popularity of seaside tourism in England, and the fascination with capturing daily life through imagery.
