Description

Photograph of women tossing a ball in the air at a Los Angeles area beach, ca.1940. Three women with their mouths open in a smiling expression look up towards the ball that floats in the air above them. The woman on the right wears a polka dot two piece suit with a short skirt and a feminine top. The girl in the center wears a darkly colored one piece bathing suit while the girl on the left wears a lightly colored suit. The women create grooves in the sand as they splash up water with their feet. A wave is visible immediately behind the women.
