In this black and white portrait captured by Felix Man, we are transported back to the summer of 1945 at Roehampton's outdoor swimming pool in South London. The image showcases a child clad in vintage swimwear, fearlessly climbing the steps leading into the inviting waters. The photograph exudes a sense of curiosity and innocence as the young girl gazes off into the distance, her back turned towards us. Her fashion choices reflect the trends of that era, with her paddle-like shoes adding an extra touch of nostalgia. This archival print beautifully captures a moment frozen in time, evoking memories of childhood summers spent at swimming pools across Europe. The vertical composition emphasizes balance and highlights the determination on the child's face as she clings onto each step. Felix Man's expert eye for human interest shines through in this image, showcasing his ability to capture not only moments but emotions as well. The monochromatic format adds depth and enhances our connection with this slice of history. Whether displayed in a home or office setting, this print is sure to spark conversations about fashion evolution and evoke feelings of nostalgia for simpler times.
