This is a truly remarkable collection! When I came to page 3, I was disappointed when I saw the iconic photo of the sailor kissing the girl. Isn't this Alfred Eisenstadt? But no, The photo by Strattis, page 3, 3rd row down, second from left. These 2 shots must have been taken within seconds of each other. ( I don't know how to show it...) The photo by Eisenstadt,  This collection is an exceptional portrait of New York in the 40's. |

Hi-ho ~~ you're right, Jazz! Look at the sailor caught in mid-stride and the person in dark clothing just in front of him. They are the same distance from each other in both pictures, and have changed position only slightly.  Jazz, to capture those photos in order to post them here, right-click on the full-sized picture, choose Properties, then copy the url. When you paste it here, remove everything after "jpg". |

These are fabulous,thank you. My mother would love. Lately, she's been waxing poetically about NYC and her time she spent there working as a secretary for the Civil Defense.

My (step)father would always wonder why I was interested in New York City and why I would visit it regularly. "I was there in 1949 and I wasn't impressed. I've seen it -- why go back?"

Wow. The architecture alone makes NYC worth visiting!

I have always wanted to explore New York City. Now that we are retired it is high our "Things to Do Before We Kick the Bucket" list.
