The subjects' apparent ages (late 50s to early 60s) align with Albert and Esther Fox in the mid-1950s. The clothing, specifically the man's patterned boxer-style swim trunks and the woman's skirted one-piece swimsuit, are highly characteristic of 1950s beachwear. The square format black-and-white snapshot is also typical of consumer photography from this decade.
