Cooling Her Heels: A Timeless Image of Relief from the Heat by Dorothy M. Morgan (1927) This evocative black-and-white photograph, titled "Cooling Her Heels," captures the essence of summer discomfort and the simple pleasure of finding respite from the scorching heat. Taken in 1927 by renowned British photographer Dorothy M. Morgan, the image portrays a lady in her undergarments, seated in front of a fan, with a drink in hand, her eyes closed in blissful contentment. The lady's attire, a modest yet revealing lace-trimmed slip, was a common sight during the era, reflecting the social norms of the time. The use of a fan as a cooling device was a popular method to combat the heat, especially before the widespread availability of air conditioning. The straw drink, with its long, curved stem, adds to the image's vintage charm, evoking memories of a bygone era. The photograph, taken in the Roaring Twenties, is a testament to the enduring allure of a quiet moment of relaxation. The lady's posture, with her legs crossed and her hands resting on the armrests, exudes a sense of calm and tranquility. Her expression, serene and peaceful, speaks volumes about the simple pleasure of enjoying a moment of stillness in the midst of the chaos of daily life. "Cooling Her Heels" is not only a fascinating glimpse into the past but also a reminder of the universal desire to escape the heat and find comfort in the simplest of ways. The image's timeless appeal continues to resonate with audiences today, making it a cherished piece of historical photography.
