Caption: This print captures the remarkable Ruthley Moris-Hancock, a British swimmer who participated in the Berlin Olympics of 1936. The image is sourced from Olympia 1936, Die Olympischen Spiele 1936, Volume II, Cigaretten-Bilderdienst, Hamburg, providing a glimpse into this historic sporting event. In this portrait, we see Ruthley Moris-Hancock dressed in her tracksuit, exuding confidence and determination. Holding onto a mascot that symbolizes her competitive spirit and dedication to the sport of swimming. As one of Britain's esteemed athletes during that era, she stands as an inspiration for women breaking barriers in sports. The Berlin Olympics held great significance amidst the political climate of the time. Despite being set against the backdrop of tension and controversy surrounding Nazi Germany's regime under Adolf Hitler's rule, these games showcased exceptional athletic prowess from individuals like Ruthley Moris-Hancock. This monochrome photograph beautifully captures her poised demeanor while highlighting her contribution to British sports history. It serves as a testament to her achievements as an Olympic competitor representing both herself and her nation on such a grand stage. Preserved by The Print Collector collection4 (not affiliated with any company), this rare piece offers us an invaluable glimpse into the past – reminding us not only of extraordinary athletes but also celebrating their enduring legacy within our collective memory.
