Miss Hillsboro in a swimsuit
Description
Black and white image of a woman posing outdoors. She wears a light-colored, one-piece swimsuit and is barefoot. A banner reading 'Miss Hillsboro' is tucked into her swimsuit by her right upper arm and is draped down to her left hip. Her hair is short and curly on the ends.
