Elizabeth West, Chester Schmitz, Frances West and Irene Schmitz sit in front of a beach umbrella, Santa Monica, [about 1915]

Description:
Per the negative sleeve caption, this photograph was taken in 1910, the same year that Chester Schmitz was born. He looks considerably older than that, maybe about 5 or 6, in this photograph. The other children also look older than what their age would be in 1910. It is more likely that this image was taken around 1915.
