"Saint Clement" is a chromolithograph from the "Fancy Bathers" series, issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. in 1889. The print depicts a woman in a bathing suit, standing in the water, holding a rope. This series is known for its colorful depictions of women in fashionable bathing attire and was part of a trend of "trade cards" used for advertising purposes. This particular card, which is small in dimension, likely promoted a product or service related to the sea or summer leisure.
