"Paramé" is a trade card from the *Beautiful Bathers* series by William S. Kimball & Company, printed in 1889. The card depicts a woman in a striped bathing suit standing in the water, with a pink sunbonnet resting on the sand beside her. These trade cards were likely used to advertise Kimball & Company’s products, which may have included clothing, textiles, or other goods related to beachwear. The card's imagery embodies the Victorian era’s fascination with seaside leisure and the emerging popularity of swimming as a recreational activity.
