EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the summer of 1935, capturing a moment of pure joy and excitement at Penzance Lido. The art deco design of this magnificent swimming pool, now known as Jubilee Pool, stands proudly against the backdrop of Cornwall's picturesque coastline. Its elegant curves and geometric patterns are a testament to the architectural brilliance that defined the era. In this snapshot from yesteryears, we witness a fearless diver perched on the high board, ready to take flight into the crystal-clear waters below. Suspended mid-air, their poised form exudes confidence and grace. It is an image that encapsulates both skill and bravery. The lido itself buzzes with life; families basking in the sun on deckchairs while others frolic in the inviting turquoise pool. Laughter fills the air as children splash around under watchful eyes. This slice of paradise offers respite from everyday worries - a sanctuary where time seems to stand still. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it serves as a reminder not only of our rich history but also of our enduring love for leisure and recreation by water's edge. The Penzance Lido remains an iconic landmark cherished by locals and visitors alike; its art deco charm standing strong against the test of time. Let this image transport you back to simpler times when summers were spent diving fearlessly into unknown depths – a timeless memory frozen within this remarkable piece from STEAM Museum's collection.
