About the Photos
Our holdings include hundreds of glass and film negatives/transparencies that we've scanned ourselves; in addition, many other photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs) in the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) They are adjusted, restored and reworked by your webmaster in accordance with his aesthetic sensibilities before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here. All of these images (including "derivative works") are protected by copyright laws of the United States and other jurisdictions and may not be sold, reproduced or otherwise used for commercial purposes without permission.

A little out of place!

The two girls dressed identically, 13th and 14th from the right, look very out of place to me. I can picture the others wearing their outfits on the beach, but not those two. They certainly couldn't have gotten far walking in sand in those heels! Those two girls look like they stepped off of a stage or movie set.
Oh, those rolled-up stockings ... Again!

I like the way some of the girls are dressed in their period- piece bathing suits. The girl at the far right side of the photo is my favorite, the way she wears her stockings like knee-socks, just like the flappers of the era. Gorgeous! I love it! What an era in history.
