Mabel Dwight

The Ocean, Coney Island
1928

A detailed black and white lithograph depicting a crowded beach scene with various figures in early 20th-century swimwear. In the foreground, a man lies on his stomach smoking a pipe, while another man in a suit sits nearby. A woman bends over to attend to a child, and a stout man in a cap stands with a cigarette. In the background, numerous beachgoers engage in activities, with some standing in the water and others conversing or lounging on the sand. The image has a vintage feel, with the artist's signature and the year 1926 visible in the lower right corner.
