Memorial Day: 1942

May 1942. Southington, Connecticut. "An American town and its way of life. The Memorial Day parade moving down the main street. The small number of spectators is accounted for by the fact that the town's war factories did not close. The town hall is in the left foreground." Medium format Kodachrome transparency by Fenno Jacobs for the Office of War Information. View full size.

The detail
Submitted by Laura Flowers on Sun, 05/24/2009 - 9:53pm.
I had forgotten the detail of medium format Kodachrome. When I first started as a photography student we still worked in with film. I was one of the very last classes to do so.
The world has changed so much in just over 10 years.

Kodachrome never ceases to amaze me. This photo looks like it was taken last week.

This aerial view shows Main Street (State highway 10) at Academy Street
Two newer buildings are across the street, but town hall remains with little change.
Baby carriage?

Gorgeous scene. Is the blue suit wearing woman in the foreground pushing a baby carriage? It's very interestingly designed.
