- Wilhelmina Zdunek in Bathing Costume c. 1918
- Description
- On the rocky shores of Lake Erie, near Angola on the Lake, Wilhelmine "Minnie" Zdunek (1892–1966) enjoys a moment of seaside leisure. Captured around 1918 at Pine Lodge, Minnie wears the era's characteristic bathing attire—a tunic over bloomers paired with playful, striped stockings. It is a snapshot of a woman in her prime, embracing the burgeoning culture of American recreation. We see not just a relative, but a living person enjoying the simple, sun-drenched joys of a summer day by the water.
