1895 Narragansett Pier and Beach, Narragansett, Rhode Island Cutting Board

A crowd of swimmers and beachgoers wade through the shallow ocean waters off Narragansett Pier, with the iconic domed pavilion structure rising prominently in the background under a clear sky. This black and white photograph captures a leisurely scene of early seaside recreation, rendered in crisp tones that emphasize the architectural detail of the pier and the human activity dotting the shoreline. Crafted from bamboo and made to order, with a drilled hole so it hangs on the wall as easily as it works on the counter. A kitchen essential carrying an independent artist's work, not a blank block from the big-box aisle.
