In the years just after WWI, the bathing beauty was the biggest hit in Hollywood. It was the first incarnation of sex and the swimsuit being married together for audiences and they could not get enough. Mack Sennett produced his films set on the beach and featuring new "bathing Beauties" to keep audiences coming back with Eugenia Gilbert being the hot newcomer of 1923! A rare image of the actress in her swimsuit and posed on the beach which was used by the studio to promote their latest film. Condition and quality are both outstanding.
