I love the window and brickwork behind them.

I like the bloke at the back on the right. He is wearing his summer hat, but that's his only concession to being at the beach. The three piece black suit and the wing collar still remain.

he looks like an older chap still sporting the Edwardian look in the late 30s... but what about the dude in the 3 piece peaked lapel ? his idea of beach wear is flipping his collar up !


Are these all from one photo album?

i presume so, but don't have any details regarding dates etc.

Respectable, post-war, working class male fashion:

Ha! I've never seen an Irvin worn like that before.
But no, it's not a good way to wear it imho.

A few more from the ever increasing number of digitised Romanian photos:









This photographer was clearly the Romanian Disfarmer.
