notes: label: Description
content: This gelatin silver print prominently features a woman facing away from the camera in the right foreground. She wears a white skirt, a feathered hat, and a dark button-down blouse which is open to reveal a bathing suit top; the blouse is gathered and tied under the bust. The sleeves of the blouse are rolled up to the woman's elbows and she holds her sandals in her PR hand. Behind her are three upright umbrellas which stand in a triangle formation; crowded under these umbrellas, and beyond them, is a crowd of mostly seated, fellow beach-goers. The horizon line of the photograph hits just at the woman's hip.
