EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in a timeless black and white format, this print transports us back to the 17th of April, 1933. A group of women adorned in the traditional Welsh national costume stand at the summit of Snowdon, North Wales. With their backs turned towards us, they gaze out at the breathtaking view that stretches before them. In this striking image, we witness a blend of sport and recreation as these adventurous females engage in a leisure activity like no other - climbing one of Europe's most majestic mountains. Standing tall at an impressive 2,104 meters, Snowdon is both a challenge and an emblematic symbol of British and Welsh culture. The women's attire reflects their deep connection to their heritage and adds an air of elegance to the scene. Their commitment to dressing up in traditional clothing showcases their pride for their roots and further enhances the sense of authenticity captured by J. A Hampton's lens. As we admire this archival photograph today, it serves as a reminder not only of past adventures but also celebrates female empowerment during a time when societal norms may have limited such pursuits. It invites us to appreciate nature's beauty through the eyes of these courageous women who dared to conquer new heights.
