Winslow Homer would have hit one out of the park with that composition.

That's an elegant vessel in the center of the shot. It seems to have square rigging on the foresail, and fore and aft on the main, making it a brigantine, if I remember my nomenclature correctly.

Dave's correction shows what I know about 1910 cameras. Well, then, speaking of Bebe, that shadow on the left must be the ghost of Richard M. Nixon. Or David Frye.

Just two years later, Bebe Rebozo was born.

The shadow on the lower left bottom of the image is the photographer, obviously holding camera to face. Accident or art (I suspect the former), this photo is well composed. The oval shapes of the girls' hats are an interesting counterpoint for the angular sails. Notice the tin cup the girl with the white belt has "borrowed" from somebody's kitchen. "Young lady, I hope you can tell me how in the dickens all that sand got on the kitchen counter!"

Look here how the individual "attention points" fall right along the lines of the triangle I've scribed. Very nice photography.

Looks like it could be a scene right out of Woolf's book. But because you can't see anyone's face, it'd oddly menacing.
