Daydreaming Afloat: Vintage 1940's Photo
$59.00

Sun-drenched calm with a hint of mystery.
This iconic 1940s aerial photograph by Toni Frissell captures a serene and stylish summer moment like no other. Two women drift on the surface of a crystal-clear body of water—one floating face-up, soaking in the sunshine; the other face-down, her silhouette softened by gentle ripples. The symmetry and contrast in posture create a quiet tension that’s both calming and captivating.

Frissell, one of the few celebrated female photographers of her time, was known for bringing fashion out of the studio and into the world—and this piece is a perfect example. It’s bold, minimal, and dreamy. Whether you're styling a coastal-chic space, creating a vintage vibe, or just want art that sparks thought and compliments your aesthetic, Daydreaming Afloat delivers timeless cool with effortless elegance.

Ideal for bedrooms, beach houses, or gallery walls needing a breath of fresh air and a splash of retro glamour.
