Waterline, Antique Photograph of Five Swimmers svengali magic cards and sign tacking)I love an old photo of people in or by the sea, and find this one very beautiful, evoking the sense that these five figures especially the man at center were plowing their way through the water, determined to reach the shore. Perfectly punctuating the waterline and framed by the line of the land in the distance. 5 1 2 x 3 3 8 and in good condition, with handwritten names of subjects on reverse.
