About this postcard
Two men hold a woman horizontally aloft on yellow water skis, forming the adagio act at Cypress Gardens, Florida. The trio wears matching yellow-and-red costumes; the woman is in white with rhinestone trim and long white gloves, and they skim across churning blue water. The printed caption calls it the "ADAGIO ACT AS SEEN AT FLORIDA'S FABULOUS CYPRESS GARDENS." Cypress Gardens, in Winter Haven, was a Florida tourist attraction known for its botanical gardens and lakeside water-ski shows, where troupes performed pyramids, adagio lifts, and barefoot acts for vacation audiences.
