On the Beach

On the Beach
Originally uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of "On the Beach" and brought forward for HFF.
Best wishes to all for a HFF and a sunny, warm weekend somewhere close to water!
I found this photo in Essex Junction, Vermont - although it's obviously from somewhere else as Vermont has no coastline!

Written on the back:

Wm. H. Burr and Mary E. Burr

Some of the details I like are Mr. Burr's wet legs, and his pipe, Mary's turban, and the man in the top right hand corner leaning on the insubstantial looking sea fence.

Nouchetdu38, sea-herdorf, Berny, Marco F. Delminho and 15 other people have particularly liked this photo

Gudrun, I have quite a few images of women in swimsuits pre-1920 - but they're nearly always paddling on the edge, very seldom in the water. Probably a good thing given the weight of those suits! HFF!

Thank you, Ecobird! I also love the contrast of the "boardwalk" wear and the beach wear. Doesn't that fence look scarily flimsy, though? HFF!

Haha - he does look contemporary - his (wife?) a little less so.
I actually think I might have found out who this is by googling him. He was apparently a fairly well known professor, author and engineer. I tried to verify it by searching for the name of his wife, but she was only mentioned as "wife". Not completely sure, but that professor died in 1934 which would make him in his 50s in the photo that I guessed was early 1900.
HFF!

Thank you for your visit, sea-herdorf - HFF!
This is a strong sepia- toned photograph. Quite often I will process it a little by reducing the saturation so that the sepia tone is milder, but I left this one.
More "beach toned" maybe? : )
