Studio photograph of bathing suit clad woman with a large stick. Perhaps this was shot as an advertising photograph but the photographer left no information with this particular image.

Another one of Loyd Sandgren’s bathing beauty photographs. There was no information with this image but it sure makes me wish I was at the beach.

There are a good number of sailors in their dress white uniforms mixed in with the local crowd in the stands. Great banners and flags hanging from the rafters including a 48 star United States flag which […]

A transaction taking place at the ticket window of the Greyhound Bus station in downtown Jacksonville.

Great informational signage.

I have always loved this image from the Loyd Sandgren collection as a documentary image despite not having any information about the specifics of the shot. Great parade float from the 1950’s, military missiles during the cold war with Russia, beautiful girl in her Southern Bell formal gown passing spectators in a house dating from […]
