The Forty Foot gentlemen's swimming place. Dublin 1963.
A prominent sign—"FORTY FOOT GENTLEMEN ONLY"—marks the famous men’s swimming place in Dublin, 1963. A concrete path leads past a stone wall where another notice identifies it as a "GENTLEMEN'S BATHING PLACE." While one shirtless man sits in the sun against a low wall, another stands poised on a diving platform above the deep blue water. The scene unfolds under a dramatic sky, with the warm, saturated colors characteristic of vintage film.
