EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a group of swimmers floating effortlessly in the Great Salt Lake, Utah, around 1942. Located just 18 miles west of Salt Lake City, this inland sea spans an impressive area of 2,000 square miles with a length of 75 miles and a maximum width of 50 miles. What makes this lake truly remarkable is its high concentration of common salt, boasting a staggering percentage of 21%, higher than any other large body of water in the world. Bathers flock to this unique natural wonder to experience the exhilarating sensation of swimming in its buoyant waters. The lake's salinity is so intense that it renders sinking impossible; instead, swimmers find themselves effortlessly floating like corks on its surface. This extraordinary phenomenon creates an unforgettable and almost magical experience for all who venture into these briny depths. Nestled along the shore lies Saltair, an exceptional pleasure resort that has become synonymous with leisure and entertainment. Its grand dance pavilion stands as one of the largest worldwide—a testament to the allure and popularity surrounding this picturesque destination. This timeless image serves as a window into history, transporting us back to an era where people sought respite from daily life by immersing themselves in nature's wonders.
