That Alfred Eisenstadt picture – my first thought was that it was completely posed. Can you imagine the typical boy dressed up like Little Lord Fauntleroy and curtsying to a little girl?
The girls look perplexed.
It is as cute picture though. Thought he only did pictures like VJ day 😉
Something good always seems to inevitably follow sooner or later.
Always think of Gene Tierney and her pregnancy that was affected by a selfish fan.
I’m reasonably certain that Mr. Hoppé would not have styled his subject as “Ms.” in 1934. Miss, yes. Ms., no.
Union City, what state?
Nice dress, pretty woman, not Ingrid Bergman.
Have a great Shabbos!
Wow. The Italians would have got a pretty misleading idea of what Casablanca was about based on that poster. I mean, it’s lovely, but that doesn’t really look like Ingrid Bergman and I’m pretty sure she never wore that dress…
Another wonderful collection of images. An VJ Day, my parents had a party that lasted three days. I was 7 and remember it well. One cousin washed only her face and went to work each day, then returned to the party.
I remember VJ Day, and before that VE Day and the funeral of FDR. Quite a different era, and despite war a better one in my view than this century has brought us.
My mother was in DC during V-E day, and Times Square for V-J day. What memories.
