<p>[QUOTE="ValerieK, post: 4293132, member: 7360"]The man seated left of centre, and the man to the left of him, look like they are in swimming costumes, and perhaps it is their clothes thrown over the top of the boards at the back. Maybe a friendly swimming race? They are all on some kind of platform which might be a dock on a small river? It's a shame that the women on the left have become pale ghosts, their costume might have given an idea of the date. I expect the photo looked much clearer when first printed, no-one would have kept it if it was as underexposed as this to begin with. Maybe the original owner kept it out on display for years. Some mysteries are unsolvable, but I hope you find some more clues.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
