Framed Vintage Black and White 'Four Women with Leis' Photograph

This item is a framed black and white photographic print depicting four women, likely during an event or celebration, as they are all wearing leis around their necks. The setting appears to be outdoors, possibly on a ship or near a structure with railings. The women are dressed in light-colored, knee-length or mid-calf dresses, consistent with fashion from the early to mid-20th century, suggesting a style period of approximately the 1920s to 1940s. The photographic print itself is heavily damaged and discolored, featuring significant areas of mold, dirt, and water damage, particularly noticeable across the top and sides of the image where the emulsion appears to be lifting or degraded. The print is housed within a dark-colored wooden frame, possibly black or dark brown, which exhibits considerable wear, chipping of paint/finish, and general deterioration. The frame's corners show some separation and damage. There is a visible string or wire at the top right of the frame, indicating it was previously ready for hanging. The overall condition of both the print and the frame is poor, with extensive signs of neglect and environmental damage. The quality of the original photographic print cannot be fully assessed due to the severe degradation, but the composition and subject matter suggest a personal or commemorative photograph rather than a professional studio portrait. No specific maker's marks or signatures are discernible on the print or frame due to their condition.
