Few other images on this board capture a whole stretch of shoreline at once, and this panoramic view of a crowded beach in 1902 shows bathers spread across the sand near a pavilion. Around the turn of the century, New York's public beaches drew large crowds from the city's dense neighborhoods, especially on summer weekends, when families came for cheap relief from the heat. The wide format lets you scan the crowd from edge to edge, noticing how people clustered near the water, gathered under the pavilion, and filled the open sand.
