EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the scorching heat of a record-breaking summer in 1911, Victoria Park in London became a popular refuge for locals seeking relief from the stifling heat. The mercury reached an unprecedented 97 degrees Fahrenheit, making it the hottest July day in Britain since records began. In this photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library, a group of young women are seen enjoying a refreshing bathe in the park's pond, their laughter and joyful splashes echoing through the lush greenery. The sun-kissed scene exudes a sense of carefree bliss, as the women revel in the simple pleasure of a cooling dip. Dressed in their Sunday best, they embody the spirit of the era, defying the oppressive heat and reveling in the beauty of a sunny day. The image transports us back to a time when the simple pleasures of nature provided respite from the daily grind, and the simple joy of a summer's day bathing in Victoria Park became an unforgettable memory.
