ABOUT THIS IMAGE

Taken May/June 1942, Prince George's County, Maryland, United States
(Library of Congress)

"I've always wanted to see this photograph in colour since the moment I saw it. Collins' composition is so strong, she really encapsulates the sheer joy these kids have just being able to swim on a hot summer's day."

– Jordan J. Lloyd

This historical photograph has been meticulously researched and rendered into colour from a black and white original by a skilled artisan, continuing a craft tradition that has existed since photography began.

PROVENANCE
