Description
Photograph of a view of bathers on the beach in Long Beach with the pier in the background, ca.1910. A large crowd of people can be seen playing in the shallow waves in the foreground, while more people look on from the shore. A large wave can be seen breaking in the background. The pier is at left, and a large building can be seen on the end of it. An American flag flies from the roof of the structure. In the background at center, the mast of a small boat can be seen. With the Pavilion in the background, bathers frolic in the water at the turn of the century. Both photographs are derivatives of the same photograph. For CHS-32795 -- many of the poeple in the foreground have been altered by some penciling. The pavilion is further to the left. For CHS-32788 -- Same type of penciling has been done making the some of the people in the foreground appear artificial like being painted into the picture. Parts of the waves in the background have been edited to give more definition. The sky in the background has been edited, possibly to neutralize it. The Pavilion is more prominently in the image.
