Photograph by A. Janik. Open-air pool, King George's Park. 1956

Gelatin-silver print depicting a vibrant summer scene at a public swimming facility in Wandsworth, London, during the 1950s. The image captures a moment of communal leisure, with adults and children engaging in swimming, sunbathing, and socialising around the pool. A prominent diving platform and a tiled-roof building, possibly changing rooms, frame the composition.
