Going Dutch on the Boardwalk, Atlantic City, N.J.

Going Dutch on the Boardwalk, Atlantic City, N.J.
Printed on the back of this real photo postcard: "Flett, 1517 Boardwalk, Atlantic City, N.J."

This seaside souvenir studio photo was originally very light, and I wasn't entirely successful in sprucing it up. But I hope it's dark enough to make out the characteristics--amazing hats, deer-in-the-headlights facial expressions, and comical foreground illustration (signed by "Flett")--that I found so amusing.

Smiley Derleth, , have particularly liked this photo

Interesting find. Love the variety of hats. It's strange that they didn't smile much in the studio portraits. In this jolly setting you would think they couldn't resist a smile :-) Old Studio Photos

Thanks, I often wonder myself at the lack of smiles in old photos like this. I'm not sure why that is.
