1891: THE FLOATING BATHING SUIT

THE IDEA NEVER CAUGHT ON! I WONDER WHY? THIS VICTORIAN ERA AD BY TRENTON'S R.A. DONNELLY ADVERTISES "THE SIMPLEST, MOST PRACTICAL MOST EFFECTIVE LIFE SUIT EVER INVENTED."

There are cryptic guestbook entries, and there are more cryptic guestbook entries. The comment from "Johannes" falls into the latter category. Johannes refers to a sifi time travel author, and for the life of me I can't figure out what Poul Anderson has to do with a Victorian era flotation type bathing suit. Anyway Johannes, thanks for visiting my website!
