1932

Islands - Coney Island beach - [Half-Moon Hotel.]

(1) A general view of the beach, showing the dense throng of bathers and sunbathers. In the distance is the Half-Moon Hotel. August 8, 1932. P. L. Sperr. (2) A good view of a Coney Island crowd. Oddly enough, this is a week-day crowd. It is difficult to attempt to picture the scene on a weekend. August 8, 1932. P. L. Sperr. (3) A supurb marine photograph, which gives a good idea of the terrific mob at Coney Island Beach. In the background, sharply silhouetted against the sky, is the Half-Moon Hotel. August 9, 1932. P. L. Sperr.
