C; 19th Century.

Steel came into use in umbrellas in the 1850s thanks to Samuel Fox, an English industrialist who ran a wire drawing business. Prior to that, iron, wood, and whale bones—yes, whale bones—were the primary materials used for the frames of the umbrella. Steel lightened the weight of the umbrella considerably, making it easier to carry. His company, now Fox Umbrellas Ltd., exists today and still produces their fine handmade umbrellas in England.

Colorful Beach Umbrellas Positano by Marlin and Laura Hum

Colorful Beach Umbrellas Positano

The picturesque town of Positano on the Amalfi coast of Italy is always a fun place to visit. This is the view of the hillside resort town taken from the beach. Colorful umbrellas line the beach to provide some shade for sunbathers and there is a wonderful view of the mountains, rows of colorful houses, and the famous domed Church of Santa Maria Assunta.
