EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "SWIMMING POOL, 1942" transports us back to a summer day in Washington D. C. The image captures the essence of daily life during this era, as men and women patiently wait in line to gain entry into the municipal pool. Taken by Marjory Collins in 1942, it offers a glimpse into a moment of leisure and recreation amidst the backdrop of American history. The photograph showcases individuals from all walks of life, united by their desire for respite from the scorching sun. Men clad in mid-century attire stand alongside shirtless swimmers, while women donning modest swimwear eagerly anticipate their turn. The scene exudes an air of anticipation mixed with relaxation as people engage in conversation or simply bask under the warm rays. Collins' lens beautifully captures both the exterior surroundings and human emotions within this snapshot. It serves as a reminder that even during times marked by uncertainty – such as 1942 America – moments of joy and unity can still be found. This remarkable print is part of Granger Art on Demand's collection, showcasing historical images that provide glimpses into our shared past. As we gaze upon this piece today, we are transported to an era where waiting patiently for simple pleasures like swimming pools brought communities together under the summer sun.
