Bolinas May Day on Brighton Avenue
c. 1915
Negative, 3.5 x 5.75 inches, Gift of Amy Edwards Jordan, 2001.28
Community children weaving a May Pole pause their dance while the teacher changes the record on a hand-cranked Gramophone. The setting is the end of Brighton Avenue, before there was a ramp down to the beach. This image shows wonderful detail in the costumes of the era.
