Bathers and Beachgoers, Ocean Grove–Asbury Park, New Jersey — Pach Bros.

Bathers stand in the breaking surf while spectators gather along the beach. Several figures in the water hold hands against the waves. In the foreground, women in long dresses sit beneath open parasols, one on a low chair, while others watch from the sand. The open sea occupies most of each image.

The orange mount is imprinted “PACH, Photographer,” and “Views at Ocean Grove and Asbury Park, N. J.” This identifies the photographer by surname and places the view within a series covering the two neighboring New Jersey shore communities; it does not distinguish which beach is shown. No individual view title, publisher number or date is visible.

Two side-by-side photographic images form the stereoview. The reverse is plain pink, without a printed catalogue or caption. Faint pencil marks near its upper-right corner are not securely legible and provide no further identification.

Small chips and losses occur along the central meeting edges of the prints, and a localized dark mark is visible over the water in the right-hand image. The mount is otherwise sound.
