EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the historic moment of 19th June 1958, capturing Roberta Cowell at Croydon court four years after her groundbreaking sex change. Previously known as Robert Cowell, a distinguished fighter pilot, speedway racer, and father of two, Roberta's journey towards embracing her true identity is both inspiring and courageous. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the strength and resilience that defined Roberta's transformation into a woman. The image encapsulates her poised demeanor as she navigates through the legal proceedings at Croydon court.
