Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph, from left to right, of Mertie West and Agnes Whitaker stopping to pose on the dock before heading back to their cabin at Big Bear Lake. The dock enters frame from the bottom edge and stretches straight back through center, reaching land in the mid-ground. Boats are moored alongside the dock at left and right. In the near distance at center, Mertie West and Agnes Whitaker stand on the dock. Both are bundled up and carry seat cushions. Mertie faces camera while Agnes faces right, but turns her head towards camera. Directly behind them, metal barrels stand on the shore. A little further back at right, a few cars are parked in a lot. An open field sits in the distance at left. Pines line the background. Opaque, white patches occupy the lower left and lower right corners, dissipating as they extend upwards along their respective edges. Text from negative sleeve: 2384. Big Bear Lake May 1948 1.
