EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the summer of 1964. Mary Margaret Revell, a determined young woman with an adventurous spirit, stands poised at the edge of the Serpentine in Hyde Park, London. Her eyes gleam with excitement as she prepares to embark on a remarkable feat - swimming across the treacherous English Channel. Sponsored by the prestigious Daily Mirror newspaper, Mary Margaret is ready to conquer this daunting challenge that only a few brave souls have accomplished before her. The image captures her sporting attire of the era - goggles firmly in place and hair neatly tucked away under a vintage swim cap. The serene waters of the lido reflect her unwavering determination as she gazes into its depths. The open-air setting adds an element of freedom and adventure to this snapshot from history. It reminds us of simpler times when outdoor leisure activities were cherished and embraced wholeheartedly. Bela Zola's expert lens freezes this moment forever, allowing us to witness Mary Margaret's courage firsthand. As we admire her resilience and strength, we can't help but feel inspired by her audacious pursuit of conquering nature's challenges. This photograph serves as a timeless reminder that women too can achieve greatness in sports traditionally dominated by men. Mary Margaret Revell becomes our symbol for breaking barriers and pushing boundaries – reminding us all that anything is possible if one dares to dream big enough.
