SOL Mark Bathing Beauties

France
c. 1920s VG000BBS

Costume
   Maillot pantaloons and shoes, hats, parasols.

   TL.

Actions
   The SOL gals are typical of the flapper swimsuit model and are compared to others of the period, most likely early 1920s (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18). The leglines are daring and the poses provocative.

Commentary
   Models in the early 1920s tend to be slightly heavier, with thicker legs and rounder bellies. Green is a common color for the swimsuits.
