EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "SWIMMING POOL, 1942" takes us back in time to a municipal swimming pool in Washington, D. C. during the summer of 1942. The image, captured by Marjory Collins, showcases a group of men enjoying a day at the pool amidst their daily lives. The men are seen lounging around the poolside, basking in the sun's warm rays while donning classic American bathing suits from that era. Some choose to cool off in the refreshing water while others engage in friendly conversations or catch up on current events through newspapers. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of friendship and camaraderie as these men gather together for leisurely activities under clear blue skies. Their relaxed postures and carefree expressions reflect an escape from everyday responsibilities and an embrace of summertime joy. Marjory Collins' lens skillfully freezes this moment in time, allowing us to appreciate not only the scene itself but also its historical significance. This image serves as a reminder of simpler times when community spaces like public pools provided respite from daily routines and offered opportunities for socializing with friends. Granger Art on Demand presents this remarkable piece that encapsulates mid-20th century American life with authenticity and nostalgia. It is a testament to both Marjory Collins' talent as a photographer and Granger Collection's dedication to preserving historical moments through art prints like this one.
