A strikingly composed, almost fine-art black and white snapshot: a 1920s flapper in a cloche hat and textured fur coat stands in profile on the Atlantic City boardwalk, lost in thought as she gazes out over the water. Her small figure is set against a vast expanse of sky in a bold use of negative space, while the strong diagonal boardwalk railings anchor the composition.
Dated January 25, 1927 — from the same Atlantic City trip as companion boardwalk photos from this collection.
1920s fashion details: cloche hat, fur coat, T-strap shoes, small handbag. A wonderful example of vintage vernacular photography with an artistic, fine-art quality composition.
BACK INSCRIPTION: green-ink handwriting reads:\"1/25/27\"\"Atlantic City, N.J.\"Plus a small purple \"41\" stamp. The Atlantic City location is supported by the handwritten inscription on the back.
SIZE: 3 x 4 1/2 inches.
Condition: Used vintage condition; please examine photos carefully.
