Vintage greetings postcard
Circa early 20th century

Raphael Tuck publishers
Part of a series - "Mixed Bathing"

Signed by artist - Ellam 

Cats and Dogs frolic together in the surf. Legal segregation of beaches ended in Britain in 1901. Before then, many popular beach resorts were commonly equipped with bathing machines to protect the modesty of refined beachgoers. The bathing machine was a sort of portable wood and canvas hut attached to a wagon, which served as both a changing station and a protective wall for swimming behind. 

Paint Palette Icon mid English artist William Henry Ellam put all sorts of animals, like giraffes, frogs, and elephants in human situations, like his silly series for Tuck showing animal couples having “Breakfast in Bed” and his Tuck novelty puzzle series. He is also known for his seaside scenes and womens sufferage cards.
