There is nothing I don’t love about this picture from 1943. Go look at it at a proper size over at Shorpy.

    I always like these posts, but sometimes, and this is one of those times, I want to read more about why the artifact in question appeals to you. I myself can find much to like in it, but I’m curious about what you find compelling.

    Depth of field, inventive angle, captivating subject, great framing, high-contrast black-and-white, unusual elements, small touches like the cigarette.
