Artist's Description
Colorized photo from 1922, June 30
Original Title: Measuring bathing suits
Location: Washington DC, Tidal Basin
Some time in the 1920's, a law was put into place by a Col Sherrell, Superintended of buildings and grounds. No bathing suit on a woman can be over 6 inches above the knee. This person shown here, Bill Norton, he is a bathing suit cop. His sole job is to harass the ladies for a quick grab, so he can measure the length. If its found to be the wrong length he is allowed to arrest them.
Your probably asking - where in Washington this is? There used to be a beach where the Jefferson memorial now stands. chlorine tanks sat under the Tidal Basin Inlet Bridge which made it safe for people to swim. This beach was Whites only, and ran from 1918-1925. When it came into question to allow black people to join, they decided to spite them and simply closed the beach completely instead of letting everyone enjoy it. Gladly all these rules and such no longer exist...
About Mike Savad

My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind images. Photo realistic, is what people think of first. I specialize in job themes, such as Pharmacist, Doctor, Firemen, Lawyer, etc. Steampunk is another favorite. I'm certain you will find something that you will like. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance. Be sure to visit my Scene in Color section. I expertly restore and colorize black and white images. See the past come alive with color. Each image is painstakingly cleaned and repaired, colors are researched and shaded in. Images are designed to coordinate with the rest of my collection. The past was far more colorful than you would have imagined. Want something fun to do? Sometimes I hide...
