1927 Swimmers, South Bend, Indiana — Original Vintage Bathing Beauties Photo
A wonderful original black-and-white photograph dated 1927, showing five friends — four women and one man — in 1920s wool bathing costumes, gathered poolside in South Bend, Indiana. A fantastic example of 1920s swimwear fashion and bathing-beauty culture from the flapper era.

\"South Bend, Ind / 1927\"
Also on the back: a faint \"VELOX\" watermark (Kodak Velox paper), a purple \"122\" stamp, and \"108\" written in pencil.
A charming piece of Americana and vernacular photography — ideal for collectors of 1920s fashion, vintage swimwear, bathing beauties, and snapshots of American leisure life.
Measures approximately 3 x 4 1/2 inches. The photos show the exact item you will receive — please examine them carefully. Sold as-is; feel free to ask any questions before purchasing.
