In the late 1920s, two prominent outdoor sports complexes with pools - Lido and Kiseleff - were constructed in Romania's capital city, dominating Bucharest's summer scene. Kiseleff was designed by the great Romanian Modernist architect, Marcel Jancu. This rare Art Deco image is a bright and stylized advertisement for the new location.
