Description
Photograph of seven women in one-person boats playing a game with a ball, [s.d.]. The women can be seen from above wearing one-piece bathing suits. They are seated with their legs stretched in front of them with their knees bent, and they hold a paddle with blades at both ends in their hands. They are mostly situated in a circular pattern, with each of their boats facing the center of the circle. A woman at top left can be seen reaching to the right for a ball floating in the water. Numbers can be seen on the backs of each boat. Starting from the top and continuing clockwise, the numbers are: "8", "6", "4", "17", "15", "5", and "3".
