Boardwalk Disclaimer in Seaside Heights, New Jersey

by John Margolies

Give your living room a slice of mid-century beachside history by adding this photograph by John Margolies of Boardwalk Disclaimer in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. This macro image showcases an old-fashioned oxidized metal sign embedded within the worn wooden surface of the boardwalk with the raised wording “PRIVATE PROPERTY CROSSING IS BY REVOCABLE PERMISSION ONLY”.

Renowned for his amazing collection of American roadside attractions taken for the Library of Congress, Margolies manages to show the rich contrast between industrial cast-metal signage, salt-cured wood texture, and coastal deterioration. Great for decorating your coastal home, vintage photography collection, or anyone who is a fan of the Jersey Shore’s past!
