The photo above depicts a group of people, in swimsuits, standing on a beach and was taken between 1915 and 1930. You can see how the women's bathing suit (in the middle) has evolved from the previous page - the arms are now exposed and black is no longer the color. The woman on the right and the men are wearing the newer tank suits that developed during the 1920s.
