SWIMMING POOL, 1942 - A Glimpse into Summer Recreation in Washington D. C
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a moment frozen in time at the municipal pool in Washington D. C. during the summer of 1942. Taken by Marjory Collins, an American photographer known for her documentation of daily life, this image offers a glimpse into the vibrant atmosphere surrounding public swimming pools during that era. The scene is bustling with activity as men and women of all ages enjoy a day of sunbathing and swimming. The midday sun casts long shadows on the swimmers who are seated along the fence, while others can be seen leisurely strolling around or engaging in conversations. The sign indicating "Swimming Pool" stands tall against the backdrop, inviting visitors to indulge in refreshing waters amidst Northeast's scorching heat. The simplicity of their bathing suits reflects the fashion trends prevalent at that time - modest yet stylish. This photo encapsulates not only a recreational activity but also serves as a historical document showcasing how people sought respite from their daily lives through communal recreation. As we gaze upon this print from Granger Art on Demand, we are transported back to an era where summers were spent connecting with nature and embracing simple pleasures. It reminds us that even amidst challenging times such as World War II, moments of joy and relaxation could still be found within our communities.
