### Alt Text for the Photo

A black-and-white vintage portrait photograph of a young man in his late teens or early twenties, standing frontally with hands clasped behind his back in a formal pose. He has a slender, athletic build, short dark hair neatly combed, and a serious, direct gaze at the camera. He wears a dark one-piece tank-style swimsuit with thin shoulder straps, featuring a prominent white emblem on the chest depicting wings flanking a circular medallion or wheel-like design. His legs are bare, and he stands barefoot on a plain studio background. The image has a sepia-toned, early 20th-century aesthetic, with a faint signature or mark in the lower right corner.

“I dreamed I felt free… really free in my Maidenform Concertina” (1969). Striking illustrative photography here. Good idea to feature an active model. Athletic wear now isn’t much different than this.

“After I put on my bathing suit, you must not look at me until I get into the water.”

“Why not?” asked Frog.

“Because I look funny in my bathing suit. That is why,” said Toad.

“You’re so lucky! I wish I didn’t have to work!”

People act like we’re getting a permanent vacation.

The reality is we are forced to live in legislated poverty.

Barred from earning or marrying without losing our meagre benefits.

Denied autonomy.

And we’re sick & in pain.

It’s a 24/7 job.
