Vintage Photo Tuesday: The Group Photo

In my personal collection I have a few delightful vintage images of “group photos”. Like the fantastic image below of a group of women from the 1940s in their best dresses, hairstyles and corsages (sorority sisters photo possibly?).

I have always loved this 1940s vintage summer photo from my collection, it features a group of women at maybe at a weekend trip or camp? The back of the photos has a bunch of signatures as well of these same ladies. LOVE the vintage names!
