"Sea Girt" is a chromolithograph from the "Fancy Bathers" series issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. in 1889. The print depicts a woman in a striped bathing suit standing on a folding chair on a beach. Her pose and attire reflect the fashionable seaside trends of the late 19th century. This collectible card, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, exemplifies the popular "trade card" format of the time, showcasing a combination of artistic imagery and commercial advertising.
