About the Photos
Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Most were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.

The photo is of the same kids when someone started handing out the Popsicles.
Not a Popsicle, precisely . . .

Actually, that looks much more like being a Fudgsicle, but hey, who's drooling?

Anyone else notice the dorky noseclips on the boy in the back?
Popsicle?

I still can't see the popsicle, but the girl on the right appears to be holding her hair in place as she uses her teeth to spread open a bobbi pin to place in the waiting hair.
Why yes

It is Scarlett Johansson's grandmother on the left and she is SMOKING!

Innuendo?

It really looks like the girl bending over is putting oil on the brunette's chest. She's actually dipping her hand in the oil though. Still......hot.
olive oil

Reminds me of an episode of Scrubs where JD uses Crisco instead of sunblock on his ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend. The punchline was: "Do you smell bacon?"
I was curious so I looked it up. It seems that olive oil doesn't really work as a sunblock. It's not without purpose, though -- it acts as a moisturizer, which you need after being in the sun for a while. And it makes you dream of Italy...

Now I remember why I started smoking. It looks so glamorous.
