1870
Winslow Homer captures a breezy day at the beach in this charming 1870 illustration, originally based on one of his oil paintings. In the foreground, three young girls have kicked off their boots to kneel in the wet sand, intently examining shells or perhaps drawing in the muck, while their friends splash wildly in the crashing waves behind them. It’s a perfect snapshot of Victorian-era childhood, full of windblown hair, puffy dresses, and the simple, timeless joy of a day at the shore.
