Brighton Beach Visitors

 

I'm not sure about the lineage of these photos but I am suspecting the first gentlemen is the same fellow in both.  And despite the heat of July at the beach, the only concession to that appears to be the preponderance of straw hats.  I'm guessing fabrics might have been more in line with the temperatures, but notice the stiff starched collars.  And you know the lady just has to be wearing many layers.  Whenever people decry the lack of decorum in today's modern dress, I think of scenes like this and I am thankful I don't have to parade around like these folks in 80+ degree temperatures.
