EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exhilarating start of a women's 100-yard swim race at Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York. Taken between 1910 and 1915, this image showcases the early days of American entertainment and recreation. The scene is set against the backdrop of the vast Atlantic Ocean, with a boat anchored in the distance. The energy is palpable as swimmers clad in traditional turn-of-the-century swimsuits gather on a dock, ready to dive into the water. A crowd of spectators eagerly watches from both land and sea, their excitement evident in their animated expressions. This snapshot offers a glimpse into daily life during that era - people seeking respite from city life by flocking to this iconic summer destination. Coney Island was known for its vibrant atmosphere and thrilling attractions, making it an ideal location for such races. The photograph beautifully captures not only the physical prowess of these female athletes but also highlights how they challenged societal norms by participating in competitive sports. As we admire this historical gem preserved by Granger Art on Demand's collection, let us appreciate how far we have come since then while acknowledging those who paved the way for gender equality in sports.
