1. Title: "Cooling Down in the Heat Wave: Making Ice Lollies in Stockholm, 1943" 2. Description: This photograph, taken on July 24, 1943, in Stockholm, Sweden, showcases a group of women diligently crafting ice lollies during a sweltering heat wave. The image is a testament to their resourcefulness and creativity in the face of extreme temperatures. 3. Scene: The women are gathered around a long wooden table, each holding a metal mold filled with a creamy mixture. Their faces are focused and determined, their expressions reflecting the importance of their task. The room they occupy is dimly lit, with large windows allowing the sunlight to filter in, casting a warm glow over the scene. 4. Process: The women are in the midst of creating ice lollies, a popular treat during the summer months. They carefully fill each mold with the sweet, creamy mixture, ensuring that every drop is accounted for. Once filled, they place the molds in a large tub filled with ice and water, allowing the lollies to freeze and solidify. 5. Context: The 1940s, a time of rationing and scarcity, saw a surge in homemade ice lollies as a refreshing and affordable alternative to store-bought treats. The heat wave that struck Stockholm in July 1943 made the production of these icy delights all the more essential. 6. Atmosphere: The scene exudes a sense of community and camaraderie, as the women work together to create a simple yet delightful treat for their families and loved ones. The warm, inviting atmosphere is a stark contrast to the harsh realities of the time, offering a moment of respite and joy. 7. Legacy: This photograph serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and resilience of people during challenging times. The women's dedication to making ice lollies not only provided relief from the heat but also brought a sense of joy and togetherness to their community. This image is a cherished piece of history, capturing a moment in time that continues to inspire and delight.
