Actions This hand-tinted picture postcard gal stands in a photo studio and grasps a nautical line in front of a beach backgroup (1) Commentary The bobbed hair, bare knees and calfs, and pantaooned maillot all cast this bathing beauty as a pinup just after the First World War and before the Roaring Twenties. Shoes and socks are a requirements for wearing this costume on the beach, but our pinup gal gives us a smile which lets us know she knows that the socks are omitted in her costume.
