Paper Lion by George Plimpton, review There aren’t many football books that can boast a recommendation by Ernest Hemingway.

It’s part stunt, part sports history, part love letter to the NFL. And still essential reading nearly 60 years on.

The image captures a dynamic scene featuring two individuals, likely from the early 1960s based on fashion and color saturation. A woman is striking an expressive pose with her arms outstretched and legs bent in mid-stride over rocky terrain beside a body of water that could be either sea or lake; she wears bright pink pants, a striped top paired with vertical stripes accentuated by wide horizontal stripes, and what appears to be a headscarf. A man is perched on the rocks behind her, his gaze following hers as he steadies himself for balance, clad in casual attire comprising light blue jeans and a horizontally striped shirt.
The backdrop reveals an expansive view of water with scattered boats or buoys dotting its surface; several structures appear along the shoreline under a clear sky. The setting is likely coastal due to rock formations typical near seaside areas. Notably absent are modern elements such as smartphones, contemporary clothing brands, and other artifacts indicative of later decades.
The image exudes a sense of leisurely exploration or adventure in an outdoor recreational area during daylight hours with ample sunlight enhancing the vividness of colors captured within this snapshot from August 1962 by George Plimpton.
