The women's swimwear—specifically the skirted, heavily patterned suit and the bathing cap with a chin strap—strongly points to the late 1940s through the 1950s. Assuming one of the women is Esther Burd (born ~1900), her apparent age of 50-60 aligns perfectly with a 1950s date. The presence of a young boy (possibly a grandchild) further supports a date in the 1950s when Esther's children would be of childbearing age.

• Face 0: Age ~55, Female — Older woman smiling, wearing a patterned headscarf and a dark, patterned skirted swimsuit.
• Face 1: Age ~60, Female — Older woman smiling, wearing a white bathing cap with a chin strap and a solid dark one-piece swimsuit.

The woman on the left wears a distinctive skirted swimsuit with a large botanical print, popular for mature women in the 1950s to provide coverage. She has a patterned scarf tied around her hair. The woman on the right wears a more classic, solid-colored one-piece suit with a functional white rubber bathing cap secured with a chin strap.
