Camping & Swimming at Long Beach, WA

Title

Camping & Swimming at Long Beach, WA

Description

Sepia-toned image of three women in front of a canvas tent in the forest. The two women who are standing wear swimsuits consisting of short-sleeved tops and short skirts over bloomers and dark stockings. They each wear a flat beret style hat and their hair is short. One woman is seated; she wears a dark dress with velvet trim and puffs on her upper sleeves. She, too, wears a beret style hat. Two camp chairs are visible, one inside the tent, and two clotheslines stretch out from the tent with towels hanging from them. A small wood stove sits on a block at the far left of the image. Pine trees fill the background of the image.
