The subjects' apparent ages (mid-to-late 50s) combined with their birth years (1896 and 1900) strongly point to the mid-1950s. The man's patterned boxer-style swim trunks and the woman's structured one-piece swimsuit are highly characteristic of 1950s beachwear. The photographic style is typical of mid-century amateur snapshots.
