EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Neptune's Daughter" we are transported back to the 1930s on Santa Catalina Island, USA. The image captures a unique holiday experience that has thrilled visitors in a whole new way. Previously, tourists could only observe the famous submarine gardens through glass-bottomed boats, but now they have the opportunity to get up close and personal with these underwater wonders. Equipped with a special diving helmet, one can witness the enchanting beauty of marine life while strolling on the sea bed. Nancy Harris, a local girl from Santa Catalina Island, is seen in this snapshot still wearing her diving helmet as she emerges from beneath the waves. In her hands, she proudly displays treasures she discovered during her exploration - a starfish and an exquisite nautilus shell. This photograph not only captures an extraordinary moment but also reflects the spirit of adventure that defined this era between wars. It showcases how humans were beginning to explore and interact with nature in ways previously unimaginable. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk for posterity, this monochrome image serves as a reminder of our fascination with the unknown depths of our planet's oceans and our relentless desire to push boundaries. It stands as a testament to human curiosity and reminds us of how far we have come since those pioneering days at Santa Catalina Island.
