Yet not long before, larger bodies were seen as the epitome of beauty.

Old timey mens swim suits were made of wool, at the indoor YMCA pools men swam naked because the wool fibers clogged up the pool filters.

All of them without exception are dead... I wish we were able to point and click anyone of them on that picture and see what kind of life they had. Anyway, cool photo.

I can assure you this is not what Atlantic City looks like any longer. The city itself is in shambles, literally a beachfront slum. But the beaches and boardwalk are getting better.

Really obvious how far society has come in terms of equality, I don’t see any “people of colour”, and how the adult women are fully clothed, maybe they wanted to enjoy the beach too? Still a long road ahead, if you look at the planet as a whole. Even in the most liberal of cities today, it’s easy to find ignorance more in tune with the popular opinion at the time of this picture

People of color? I bet they didn’t allow dirty Irishmen or Italians in this beach back then

You can tell it’s old school because people are clothed and decent lol

If having to be covered from head to toe under the sun it's decent, sure then

Not to mention the majority of them were probably racists which was the style of the time.
