Note: A humanist photographer of Hungarian origin, Paul Almasy accurately documented changing lifestyles in the 20th century. This image of water-ski training illustrates the rise of modern leisure and outdoor sports. The double stamp - that of the photographer and of the Lynx agency - and the annotations on the reverse confirm that the print was distributed in a publishing context. The print is of documentary and sociological interest, characteristic of Almasy's view of the transformation of contemporary uses.
