This chromolithograph, part of the "Surf Beauties" series by Kinney Bros. Tobacco Company, features a young woman in a red bathing suit wading in the ocean. The woman is standing in the water, the waves gently lapping around her. The image was printed in 1889 and is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection. The graphic design is a visual representation of the rise of leisure and the emerging culture of the beach.
