EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the summer of 1905 with this print from Mary Evans Picture Library. The image captures a ladies swimming contest on the iconic river Thames, stretching from Hampton Court to Richmond. In an era where women's participation in sports was still relatively new and groundbreaking, this event must have been quite a spectacle. The historical significance of this moment is palpable as we see these brave and determined women taking on the challenge of racing through the waters of the Thames. Their courage and athleticism are truly inspiring, especially considering the societal norms and expectations of that time. As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we can't help but marvel at how far we've come in terms of gender equality and opportunities for women in sports. This image serves as a reminder of the progress that has been made since then, while also honoring the trailblazing spirit of those who paved the way for future generations. So take a moment to immerse yourself in history with this remarkable photo print, appreciating not only the physical feat accomplished by these ladies but also their pioneering spirit that continues to inspire us today.
