EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, hailing from the early 1900s, showcases the grace and confidence of an American roller skating girl, affectionately referred to as 'The Real Thing.' With her arms crossed in a bold display of self-assurance, she glides effortlessly around the roller rink, leaving all onlookers in awe. Dressed in a pretty, turn-of-the-century outfit, she embodies the spirit of the United States' burgeoning love for the sport of roller skating. The crowd gathers around the rink, their eyes fixed on the skater as she flies past, her roller skates barely making a sound on the smooth surface. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and admiration, as the skater's skill and poise are a testament to the enduring appeal of roller skating in America during this era. This photograph, a beautiful snapshot of history, transports us back to a time when the simple joy of rolling around on eight wheels could captivate the hearts and minds of an entire nation.
