Flapper Magnets
Description: cover of the October 1926 issue of Physical Culture magazine, a pioneering health and fitness publication founded by Bernarr Macfadden. The vibrant cover illustration, created by artist Jay Weaver, depicts a spirited woman in a red athletic bodysuit joyfully soaring on a wooden swing.
Description: The image is a vintage travel poster, promoting "The Dunes Beaches" accessible by the "South Shore Line." The artwork is evocative of the early 20th century with its style and fashion. A smiling woman, sporting a typical 1920s bathing suit and headband, is seated in the foreground. She is donning a one-piece swimsuit that is modest by modern standards, and black stockings rolled down to her knees. Her right hand rests on a large, colourful parasol planted in the sand, which has a vibrant design reminiscent of a sunset or a flower in bloom.
