Description
Photograph of a woman preparing to dive into a pool at Camp Radford by "Dick" Whittington, ca.1930. A female diver stands on a diving board in the foreground in a dark-colored swimsuit. To her left sit four swimmers watching the jump. The poolside is surrounded by a wooden fence, and behind it is an area covered in thick foliage. Snow-covered Mount San Bernardino looms in the background.
The photo print reads: "In the shadow of snow-capped Mt. San Bernardino, vacationists enjoy a plunge in the waters of the Camp Radford swimming pool. Radford is one of five vacation camps operated for public use by the Los Angeles Playground and Recreation Department".
