Circa 1928. "Plum Point," also seen here. Near Chesapeake Beach, Maryland. National Photo Company Collection glass negative. View full size.
I also approve of this photo alternative AND the more stylish swimwear of 1927 over what's common in your 1925 beach photos. More, please!
1926 must have been the tipping point year in beach fashion between Victorian "cover up everything so no one can see anything" and the modern age. 1926 must also be the year when those awful rolled up women's stockings disappeared.
Hmmm. It must be cold. Nancy Pelosi, is that you under that swim hat?
My name is Anonymous Tipster, and I approve of this photo alternative.
Two posts and not a single "It must be cold" comment?! (Of course that might be somebody's grandmother, but that hasn't stopped anyone here before.)
Ah yes... I remember back in the day when leapfrog was a most serious business.
This is a much more interesting photo than would be one of Woodrow Wilson. I mean, what comments can be posted about Wilson addressing Congress, whereas in this case, I notice that all the women are wearing the beach shoes, to prevent stepping on sharp objects in the sand or water, which are not often seen anymore (and I also notice that the lady in the striped top and white belt is VERY WELL built). This could be titled "A Day at the Beach."
