Life at the seashore provided the subject for an elaborate two-page illustration, or \u201cart supplement,\u201d and its accompanying text:



Mr. Winslow Homer . . . gives us a picture of the ease and pleasurable abandon which accompany life at Long Branch. On the beach, more than anywhere else in the world, society throws aside its dignity. Men and women make children of themselves. Those in the water give themselves up to sport, frolicking with each other and with the waves, thoughtless of fashion and its formalities. . . . Our artist suggests an old poetic thought in the letters drawn, by a young girl, in the sand.
