“Paul:

 

“Here’s a post card I have never run across before.

“It is an Ocean Grove beach scene from 1909.   It appears that there may have been enough striped canvas left over from the tenters’ awnings to add a sun guard to their folding wooden beach chairs.

“This summer scene shows a manned life guard stand,  a man doing his imitation of a sea gull on a piling, swimmers taking a dip, a passing sail boat, and a whole lot of people with a whole lot of clothing on.

“Must of been a Victorian sea breeze that day—-no Coppertone necessary.

“Rich”
