This chromolithograph, part of the "Fancy Bathers" series, depicts a woman in a polka-dot swimsuit standing on a beach. The image, created in 1889 by William S. Kimball & Company, captures the fashionable attire of the late 19th century, illustrating the evolution of swimwear. The woman's pose and the idyllic beach setting suggest a carefree summer day at Brighton, a popular seaside resort in England. The print was likely distributed as a trade card, showcasing the products or services of William S. Kimball & Company.
