**A Splash of Elegance: Eva Morrison's Enduring Legacy** In this print from circa 1910-1915, American swimmer and athlete Eva Belle Morrison exudes poise and sophistication as she stands confidently in her bathing suit. The black-and-white photograph, captured by renowned photographer George Grantham Bain (Bain News Service), showcases the elegance of a woman who was ahead of her time. Morrison's achievements on land and water were remarkable for any era, let alone one marked by societal constraints on women's roles. Her impressive swimming skills earned her recognition as one of America's top female swimmers during this period. This photograph not only immortalizes Morrison's athletic prowess but also highlights the growing acceptance of women in competitive sports. The Bain News Service was a pioneering news agency that produced iconic images, including portraits like this one, which have become an integral part of American cultural heritage. The Library of Congress has preserved these historic photographs for future generations to appreciate and learn from. This print serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Eva Morrison, whose contributions continue to inspire women in sports today. **Credit:** Bain News Service / Heritage Images
