The letters contain flowers and fruit, while a row of bathers occupies the lower edge. The scene presents beach recreation and tropical imagery together.
Photographs and postcards from Miami Beach in the 1920s show how bathing beaches became part of Florida’s appeal to visitors. The bathers on this statewide greeting draw on that familiar image of a Florida vacation.
