Notes on the postcard and on an accompanying index card identifies some of the sitters as Bob Moore, Bill Menard, Emily (Thorpe) Moore [wearing hat adorned with flowers], Anna Menard, Margaret Menard, Helen Thorpe, and George Menard [wearing fez].
B. Five young men in swimming attire are sitting under a small tree and goofing for the camera. The beach house is behind the group to the left. A note written on the front of the card reads "Old bathing beach about 190?" [The final number in the year is obscured by thumbtack rust].
