Thanks for the kind words, Jasmin. I have to confess that this particular image didn't come from a great museum or archive - it's from an ebay listing, with no credits at all. I'm guessing early 20th c. advertising art. The more you look at it, the stranger (especially the anatomy!) becomes. And WHY are the levitating over that rock? In other words, entirely appropriate for Loretta & me. :)
The ebay listing is here - you can buy this as a poster: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Women-Fishing-in-the-Sea-20-Seaside-Scenes-Print-Canvas-Poster-A4-A3-A2-A1-/290693717448?clk_rvr_id=502899082831
