More about this scene
On the beach in the background are a number of bathing machines. Ladies wishing to bathe would enter the machines from the landward side and horses would haul the contraptions down into the water. Meanwhile, the ladies were donning their bathing apparel inside, and would emerge through the door and slip, dignity intact, into the shallows. Whilst they were bathing, the horses would be harnessed to the other end of the machines for the return journey.
