Broad Channel: 1915

"Dinner at Broad Channel." Summer cottage in the Jamaica Bay, Queens, island community circa 1915. View full size. George Grantham Bain Collection.

Broad Channel

A modern view of Broad Channel - not much has changed, evidently.

Encroaching hand

You can see the hand of the photographer (or his assistant) holding something in the upper right-hand corner. I can't make out what it is, but I think it's filtering or blocking some of the light coming into the room. (Or maybe it's a mirror reflecting light from the window onto the woman.)

How big were these cottages?

How big were these cottages? Are they like the very tiny British ones? Interesting that in the open window reflection and also to the right, you see the photographer and/or assistant's hand in the shot.

[These bungalows were on stilts over the water. - Dave]
