A composite of two color photographs shows a water-skiing stunt: a man in white swim trunks, towed on yellow skis, holds a woman in a white bathing suit and cap across his arms while she extends one arm in a red sleeve-like glove. The upper view is a distant shot of the same pair throwing up spray, and the lower view is a closer angle of the identical pose. Such acrobatic doubles acts were popular entertainment features at mid-century American lakeside resorts and water-ski shows.
