Description
Photograph of Sarah Ammon in a bathing costume in 1926. The young woman stands at center with her brown, bobbed hair hanging down the right side of her face. She is smiling as she steps through a dirty patch of the beach that continues behind her. She is wearing a black bathing suit which resembles a tank top on top and wraps around her thighs further down. This photo has been hand-colored.
