The Latest Thing: 1919

The Latest Thing: 1919

July 26, 1919. Washington, D.C. "Bathing beach parade." View full size. National Photo Company. Vertical stripes -- so flattering to a girl's figure.

Focal plane

To my eye, the focal plane in this photo is not parallel to the lens. It is at an angle, farther back to the left bottom and closer on the right top. This suggests that the picture was taken with a camera that had bellows (perhaps a "field camera," see http://www.fiberq.com/cam/ for examples).

[Any of the view cameras used back then would have had an adjustable focal plane. - Dave]

Stars and Stripes

Well, a cute young girl and maybe the start of the hula-hoop.
