The men's high-waisted, belted swim trunks and the woman's modest one-piece swimsuit strongly suggest the 1940s to early 1950s. The casual snapshot format is consistent with mid-century amateur photography. Given Albert Fox's estimated age in the photo (around 50s), a date in the late 1940s aligns well with his birth year of ~1896.
