Description
Photograph of women and children lined up in the surf, perhaps Long Beach, ca.1920. Four young women stand in the water to the right while nine young children stand to the left. The girl on the right stands with one foot in the air while making an airplane gesture with her arms. The children on the left hold their hands up and smile at the camera while a group of four balance on each other in the center. A pier with a roller coaster is visible above the ocean in the background.
