Description: PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND YOU ARE BIDDING ON A PHOTO NEGATIVE, I WISH THERE HAD BEEN PERIOD PHOTOS MADE FROM THIS AND OTHER NEGATIVES, BUT ALSO VERY HAPPY TO OFFER THIS AND OTHER NEGATIVES. this negative is one that appears to be taken at summer camp, but unfortunately does not include the name or the exact locale of the camp. it would seem that the dating of the photos is circa 1920. The camp is believed to be the northeast coast. as shown the current negative shows two campers doing a handstand for this photograph. this image demonstrates the emphasis this all male camp seems to have placed on serious athletic activities. The loose but clinging woolen bathing suitbesides being eye catching, also helps to date this image to the the early 1920's when the topless swimming trunks-- for guys of course-- were becoming more common. I like to present earlier photo materials--especially for gay int subjects-- as they tend to document how and when men's bodies became more common by the end of the 19th century and when it comes to men's swim gear how men's swim gear has gone fback and forth between exposure to cover up. And I this photograph we have two camp buds displaying their athletic bodies exposed!. Happy viewing!
