newspaper photographs from
1895 illustrating ‘A
Swimming Fete at the Docks’
show nine bathers, all
apparently men, about to leap
off a floating wooden board
on which stand two suited
officials. One swimmer is
already in the water; behind
the raft is a rowing boat full
of people, while the sides of
the dock are dense with
spectators. Another image
catches two divers in midair,
