1923 Rene at Big Bear Lake, California — vintage original photograph.
Rene, identified by the inscription on the back, sits casually on a rustic peeled-log railing at a log cabin at Big Bear Lake, California, holding a dark cloche hat, smiling at the camera. Dated September 3, 1923 (\"9/3/23\").
Wonderful 1920s mountain-vacation imagery: shingled log cabin with windows behind, stone edging along the path, relaxed rustic travel atmosphere. 1920s fashion details — light jacket, dark skirt, and the iconic 1920s cloche hat in hand.
From the same collection: this photo is dated the SAME DAY as the companion 1923 Lake Arrowhead, California car-group photo — Big Bear Lake and Lake Arrowhead are neighboring San Bernardino Mountain resorts, almost certainly the same 1923 mountain trip. Also connected to Rene\'s 1926 Three Lakes, Wisconsin photos from the same collection. See my other listings for more from Rene\'s 1920s travels.
Back of photo (green-ink handwriting, transcribed exactly):\"Big Bear Lake, Calif.\"\"Rene.\"\"9/3/23\"Stamp: \"13\"
Original black and white snapshot photograph — not a reprint or copy. Classic 1920s vernacular photography and Americana, a genuine piece of California travel history.
Size: 3 x 4 1/2 in. Location (Big Bear Lake, California) as identified by the back inscription. Condition is Used; please study all three photos — closeup detail, full front, and back — for exact condition.
