| Publisher Description: The surf isn't the only thing turbulent in these shoreline images of over 100 nubile beauties. Women dressed in the period's latest beach fashions charmed first their photographers, then the world. Their fascinating, playful, and sometimes evocative images were transformed into postcards and sent with holiday vacation greetings to friends and family worldwide. Take a dip back in time, to an era when women were joyfully expressing an emerging sense of equality and freedom. |
