The Morning Bath

1903 Scrapbook photograph of Santa Monica beach

Black and white photograph of the beach in Santa Monica with different groups enjoying the beach. There are approximately 13 people in this shot and includes a group of men pulling a large bunch of seaweed.”

I chose this object as well as Object 2 for its rarity into leisure and wealth in early Santa Monica. There are many images in this group and I chose to include this one in part to show how we dated the photograph. -Sharon Sekhon
