Colorized postcard — the beach at bathing hour, ca. 1922
ca. 1922
Highland Beach, foot of Sandy Hook
A hand-colored postcard of Highland Beach at bathing hour on a summer afternoon, ca. 1922. Perhaps a hundred bathers on the sand in the striped bathing costumes of the early twenties — women in wool suits with matching swim caps, men in one-piece suits. The bathhouse row runs across the right side of the frame with HIGHLAND BEACH painted along its seaward face. The cottage colony climbs the sand at left. The bathhouses are supported on wooden pilings with people visible sheltering in the shade underneath.
