This one is called “Summer Sports”, ca. 1904. First published in Life, 1904.
I love the languorous woman flying her kite from a lying down position.

I would guess that they have all been smoking opium. I wish I was there.
hahahahaha. I love that it’s a sport you can do in a big-ass DRESS, with your hair all up like that, and even lying down.
(I’ve played badminton in a dress, though. Not a dress like those; I’d have tripped all over the place and killed myself).
(This also reminds me of a friend I had in grad school who like bocce ball because she said, “Any sport I can play with a drink in my hand is the sport for me.”)
HAHAHAHA Look at the kites!!! I’d LOVE to be there, wearing those soft, feminine gowns and languorously playing with my man-toys…

“langorously playing with my man-toys”
Seriously, that is the best way to word it EVER.
hahahahaha! I just looked at it again and saw that the “kites” WERE actually “man-toys.”
man, this guy was genius.
alas, I’ve never been in that position in my life. It appeals to me strongly though (even though it’s not that nice to string a fellow along, to toy with him…there’s something appealing about that kind of power.)
