EDITORS COMMENTS
"Mrs. Arthur Hamilton, a renowned society swimmer of the early 20th century, is captured in this striking photographic portrait taken around 1915. Dressed in her bathing costume, Mrs. Hamilton exudes confidence and determination as she gazes directly at the camera. At a time when long-distance swimming was still a relatively new and daring pursuit, Mrs. Hamilton made history as the first woman to swim the Solent, a challenging 14-mile stretch of water between the Isle of Wight and the English mainland. This photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who defied societal expectations and pushed the boundaries of what was considered possible for women in the sporting world. Mrs. Hamilton's achievement was all the more impressive given the challenges she faced, including rough waters, strong currents, and the ever-present danger of cold water shock. Despite several attempts to swim the English Channel, Mrs. Hamilton was ultimately unsuccessful. However, her groundbreaking swim across the Solent paved the way for future female swimmers and cemented her place in swimming history. This photograph is a testament to her courage, determination, and enduring legacy as a pioneering swimmer of her time." Mary Evans Prints Online/Rights Managed.
