This print showcases a thrilling moment during the girls' long jump competition, frozen forever in monochrome elegance. The image transports us to an era between the wars, where young women competed with determination and grace. The crowd eagerly watches on, their faces filled with anticipation and support for these brave competitors. Spectators line up along the track, their eyes fixed on each leap that defies gravity. In this snapshot of athletic prowess, we witness a young woman mid-air – her body suspended in a perfect arc against the backdrop of Swanley College's grounds.
