Photograph of a view of Venice beach, looking south toward the pier, showing sunbathers, 1938. Clusters of sunbathers sit on the sand under umbrellas in the fore- and centergrounds of the image. Other beachgoers stand along the coastline, which runs from the right center toward the upper left corner. Buildings are visible along the horizon in the left background, while the ocean fills the right background. In the left foreground, a lone beach umbrella can be seen with no beachgoers beneath it.
