1956. "General Motors Technical Center, Warren, Michigan. Design Center interior with stair in background. Eero Saarinen, architect." Our second look at the reception disk and its pilot. Kodachrome by Balthazar Korab. View full size. Eames wire chairEero Saarinen was a close personal friend and sometimes collaborator with my long time employers Charles and Ray Eames. The wire chair here and I'm sure others elsewhere in the building are probably Eero's personal nod to that relationship, as well as an appropriate statement of 50's modernism. My wife observesThe cleaning staff probably hated getting under the bottom of that thing. Run for your lives!It's a Disneyland teacup gone rogue! (Actually it's pretty darn beautiful, and a million times better than the cheap laminate cubicle I'm stuck in all day.) Her sisterHer sister had a similar post in the Metalunan Air Force, as seen on the silver screen a year before Korab's Kodachrome. "This Island Earth" 1955. Detroit was a wonderI would compare Detroit from the 1920s to the 1950s to Silicon Valley. It attracted the best engineering talent. It generated a huge amount of wealth. Which attracted a huge pool of craftsmen and artists. I lived in the Detroit suburbs for a few years in the 2000s, and the works of architecture and design in the region are astounding. Ikea BowlAs stunning as that workplace is in terms of shape, color, texture and space, the poor woman looks like food. WeeblesWobble, but they don't fall down! Machine-Age BeautyThis lobby is, I think, the pinnacle of post-war mid-century modern design, and why I became an architect. Unfortunately, it only lasted until the end of the JFK 'Camelot' era, whereupon it went downhill faster than an Edsel sales chart - we lost the excitement, the exuberance of looking to the future in favor of the allure of the cheap, mass-produced, "get it today and throw it away tomorrow" culture we are currently mired in, as evidenced by every crummy strip mall, dull office park and 'McMansion' suburb. We gave up Marilyn Monroe and got Honey Boo Boo in exchange. Jane...his wife.This looks like something that George Jetson would have driven to work every day. It's a shame it doesn't have the bubble on top! Student Lounge FurnitureI know the table and sofa were very expensive and made by a Designer, but that's what furniture like that has always reminded me of. Gorgeous!If such words may be applied to architecture. Another Eero Saarinen classic! I love the colorful lighting effects. I wonder if they were permanent or just created for this photo. [There are no "colorful lighting effects." -Dave] The Design Center was just one part of the GM Tech Center. And it makes sense that they would want a dramatic visual statement in the place where artists are designing the next generation of Motorama show cars, Harley Earl's Buick LeSabre and later Bill Mitchell's Corvette Sting Ray. The exterior was constantly used as the backdrop for photos of GM's dream cars. I hope GM's corporate troubles of the last few years have not diminished their architectural legacy. I still hope to visit one day to see for myself. (The Gallery, Kodachromes, Balthazar Korab, Cars, Trucks, Buses, Charles & Ray Eames)

February 1942. "Zell, South Dakota. Community hall." Medium format acetate negative by John Vachon for the Office of War Information. View full size. Step on Up... or not. My Favorite PhotographerOf all the photographers of the era, John Vachon is my favorite. His photos stand out both artistically and technically. Framing, tonal quality, contrast. He had a knack for capturing an image. And that doesn't even take into account his subject matter, which is varied and interesting. He was not a trained photographer. Originally from Minnesota, Vachon started out with the Farm Security Administration as a temporary clerk in Washington, DC, maintaining "The File," as it was known — the collection of pictures made by the other roving photographers of that era. He showed interest in photography and borrowed a colleague's camera and took pictures around the DC area that were good enough to get him a job with the FSA traveling around the country photographing everyday life in America. Vachon served in the Army from 1944 to 1945 and afterward did freelance for such entities as Life and Look magazines. He achieved real notoriety with his photos of Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio in 1953. Vachon died of cancer in 1975 at the age of 60. John Vachon InterviewA brief audio clip and transcript of a 1964 interview with John Vachon can be found on this website. https://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/interviews/oral-history-interview-joh... Vachon was certainly one of the finest photographers in the FSA group. Travelin' ManVachon sure covered a lot of ground. Although the distances aren't great by today's standards, driving in those pre-Interstate days during the winter could have been a real adventure. According to letters he wrote to his wife, during part of 1942 he was in: August 11 -- Duluth MN February 2 -- Cape Girardeau MO February 3 -- Poplar Bluff MO February 5 -- Neosho MO February 10 -- Mendota IL February 27 -- Hebron ND February 28 -- Bismarck ND March 2 -- Williston ND March 30 -- Butte MT Mystical symbolism?I am struck by the images in the crumbling plaster on the outside wall. Like Rorschach tests, they might mean different things to others. Kinda like monsters or figures in the clouds! Real, fake, or aggrandisement?I wonder how great a building is hiding behind such great a front. Oddly satisfyingWhat a comforting picture for one with a slight case of OCD and also given to mild melancholia. I'm not saying that's me, but ... at any rate, the glorious symmetry! The shapes! The shadows! The starkness! The only thing that would have made it perfect would be if they'd put a matching set of steps leading to the double doors on the right. You can't have everything ... but why didn't they? Or did they, and the stairs were later removed, or fell apart? (The Gallery, John Vachon, Small Towns)

Washington, D.C., vicinity circa 1928. "Southern Railway. Ladies' car," reserved for women and their escorts. National Photo glass negative. View full size. Night and DayThese passengers are seated in the "sections" of a sleeping car. That is to say that each section converted to an upper and lower berth at night. The sleeping car porter, the gent you see in the background, would be responsible for making up the sections when the passengers were ready to retire for the night. In the morning the porter would return the berths to the "day" position. Berths are the cheapest first-class accommodation on a sleeping car. One can see just overhead the part that when lowered will reveal the upper berth. A "compartment," as seen in the video clip below, is a private room containing an upper and lower berth, along with its own toilet and wash basin. This is a more expensive first-class accommodation. At one time, the best first-class accommodation on most railroads was a "drawing room." Agatha ChristieThis scene looke like it's taken straight out of an Agatha Christie novel. You almost expect Hercule Poirot to walk in and solve a murder. Clover ColonyThe Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum's Clover Colony is a similar heavyweight Pullman -- the car used in the filming of "Some Like It Hot," so I see Marilyn Monroe and Tony Curtis when I look at this picture. Here is my short video of a Clover Colony compartment: Each in Her Own WorldI like the drowsy ambience of isolation in this one. SmokingI was wondering if that meant it was a non-smoking car, but there seems to be a guy on the left with his back to the camera (some gigolo escort, I suppose) who is smoking. He's getting the laser-eye stare from the woman on the right, before there were lasers. The expression on the porter's face is priceless too. Not his favorite duty. Great shotI love the pictures where you can kind of put yourself into the image. Sort of like when you watch "Casablanca" and you feel like you're actually in Rick's cafe sitting right next to Ilsa. What a great way to dream. (The Gallery, Natl Photo, Railroads)

Two things you cannot escape:         1. The Spanish Inquisition.         2. The costumed cats of Harry W. Frees 1914. "Kittens in costume preparing to make tea with kettle boiling on toy stove." Photo by Harry W. Frees. View full size. The ListIs now officially up to 4 items you cannot escape? We are making progress, of sorts. Frees utilized specially design outfitsAccording to the photographer, Harry Whittier Frees, the cats and dogs he photographed were treated with care and patience, and his pictures were the result of stiff clothing and quickly captured shots at just the right moment before the kittens or dogs scampered off: Frees utilized specially designed outfits, sewn by his mother, to hold the animals in standing poses waiting patiently for the shot he wanted. In Mr. Frees' own words, "These unusual photographs of real animals were made possible only by patient, unfailing kindness on the part of the photographer at all times." “Speed is essential in securing these pictures, but very often it is impossible to be quick enough. Young animals cannot hold a pose any better than human babies, and the situation is complicated when they are called on to be precocious in situations naturally foreign to them," said the photographer. But which one does no one expect?Clue: It's not the kitties! HelpThese are making me go blind. Sigh...If you're quoting Monty Python, it should read, "No one expects the Spanish Inquisition." We've come to expect these cats because we've we know what you like (and there's no accounting for taste). If we have to put up with Harry's odd fantasies to enjoy the other wonderful photos, I guess that's our cross to bear. [In the July "likes" sweepstakes, Harry Frees has taken first place, easily besting Liz Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, Lucy & Desi and Salty Alice. -tterrace] Steam?Is that really steam or was that done as some sort of touch-up on the negative? Water kettleCute little built-to-scale furniture and accessories but I'm thankful that my water kettle isn't the same size that I am or I could never lift it off the stove. In the kettleThe reflection in the kettle reveals an important factor in Frees' technique: daylight illumination of his studio provided by the enormous overhead skylight and the side windows. This allowed shorter exposure times that minimized motion blur from any subject movement. Also, it eliminated the need for harsh artificial lights or flash, both of which would tend to get the subjects squirming more than they might be already. Finally!I was beinning to think we weren't going to get another Frees photo this week. The comments about these KONRSVW are certainly amusing, whether pro or con. Happy kitties!I wasn't surprised to read tonyswhirl's comment about the pictures being taken with patience and kindness. These kittens are obviously happy! Cats have extremely expressive faces. If they were not happy, their expressions would leave no doubt about it! (The Gallery, Cats, Harry W. Frees, Kitchens etc.)

"School youngsters. Red House, West Virginia." October 1935. View full size. 35mm nitrate negative. Photograph by Ben Shahn, Farm Security Administration. The TextbookWould anyone like to hazard a guess as to the complete title of the book that the girl is holding? All that is evident is that it somehow involves native americans, and is volume five. Re: TextbookIt's Book 5 of the Elson Readers. You can read the whole thing here or here. thanksthank you for a wonderful site. i am so appreciative of all the work you guys do! being just 21 i completely missed the good old days by about 80 or so years. i LOVE this picture, it is beautiful. thanks again! The girl in the front on the rightShe bears an absolutely stunning likeness to Marilyn Monroe at that age. Backwards into the futureI would venture a guess that many of today's college graduates would have issues with portions of that *fifth grade* book. I picked up a copy a while ago, by all means grab the OCR version provided by either link! "This book is based on the belief that an efficient reader for the fifth grade must score high when tested on five fundamental features: quality of literature; variety of literature; organization of literature; quantity of literature; and definite helps sufficient to make the text a genuine tool for classroom use." I'd like to see some of the assignments from this book used in a double-blind study in a community college anywhere in the USA... the results would, in my experience, make you ball like a little kid. [Hm. I wonder how many of those students would know the difference between "ball" and "bawl." - Dave] Red HouseRed House is now home to a radical Muslim community. They would have gotten short shrift in 1935 ... but that was before we became so "enlightened." [Not quite. You're confusing Red House, West Virginia, with Red House, Virginia, 280 miles away. - Dave] (The Gallery, Ben Shahn, Great Depression, Kids)

Florida circa 1900. "Hotel Royal Poinciana, Palm Beach." Shown here is the merest sliver of Henry Flagler's gigantic hotel, at one time the largest wood-frame structure in the world. Detroit Publishing glass negative. View full size. Very impressiveAs a retired carpenter, I'll say that the milled material depicted in this photo is amazing for the period. The first floor concrete base is surprisingly left exposed, but one could suppose they did not have the elaborate methods we employ in modern construction to connect sheathing to concrete. All in all, most impressive given the lack of modern equipment. What a painting nightmare it must have been given the moist climate. Sho' NuffYup, the same palm trees they grow back east. Look at the size of that thing!It was gigantic. Such a shame it was torn down. Well RazedIt's amazing that this huge wooden structure never burned but instead was torn down in 1934. West Coast Body DoubleThe long-gone Royal Poinciana was the kind of grand resort hotel that Billy Wilder had in mind for the locale of "Some Like It Hot," but by 1958, Palm Beach was so redeveloped that it could no longer play itself as it had been in the 1920s. But the 1888 Hotel del Coronado was just 120 miles south of Hollywood, and the largest surviving wood frame hotel on the West Coast. This 1958 production still of Marilyn Monroe and her make-up man Whitey Snyder shows the family resemblance between the two hotels. Royal legacyThe Royal Poinciana was directly west of the current Breakers on the lake side of Palm Beach. The Breakers burned twice and almost took the Poinciana with it. The current Breakers was completed in 1926. More than 500 local homes were built from pieces of the Royal Poinciana including a large church made from bricks from the chimneys.

Circa 1953. "Actress Audrey Hepburn with dining companion in Mexico." From photos by Earl Theisen for Look magazine. View full size. Elegant.Looking at the steel bracelets on her shirt cuffs. CuisineI expect there are some really nice Mexican restaurants in Mexico City! Never took a bad pictureAudrey Hepburn was one of those rare people, like Marilyn Monroe and Kim Basinger, who never, ever took a bad photo. The camera loved her. (And as an aside, it's nice to see that she ate now and then.) I'm curious.Dave, do you have any information about the type of film / camera Mr. Theisen used to make these pictures? I'm impressed with the rich contrast of light and shadow and the texture of the grain. Would this be a picture taken on medium format film, say, 6x9? Thanks! [The film is 56mm, or about 2¼ inches square. Adjusted for contrast in Photoshop using the Shadows & Highlights filter. - Dave] Gorgeous!Audrey has been the standard against which I measure all female beauty since I saw her in "Sabrina" when I was a kid.

March 1952. "Marlene Dietrich makes her stage debut in Chicago." Color transparency by Phillip Harrington for Look magazine. View full size. The Sharp Eye of ShorpyHaving been a publisher of magazines for 25 years, I agree tterrace is right that printing would smooth this out a great deal, with all those Ben Day dots. I hadn't noticed until just now taking a second look at this Shorpy-Sharp photo that Dietrich employed the same makeup tactic as Lucille Ball (and others) -- painting in lips far larger than nature provided, with the upper lip drawn well above the natural line. I imagine one would rarely see a photo of either Dietrich or Ball without that artifice. I've found only one photo of Ball with the natural lip line and she was truly not recognizeable as the icon we all know. My aunt worked in pictures in the 50s and said no one would recognize Betty Grable without her makeup, but said Marilyn Monroe was naturally beautiful without hers. This picture makes me realize why Dietrich liked Von Sternberg's "butterfly lighting" and reckon that black and white was something of a blessing for her (though Dietrich in her first Technicolor, "The Garden of Allah", was spectacular). Absolutely FabulousAs Edina in the UK sit-com AbFab says "My entire body hangs off these cheekbones!" Before plastic surgeryTons of pancake makeup. The seat of glamourShe appears to be sitting on a vinyl-and-chrome chair from a dinette set. But under all that Max Factor, a fine soulI watched a DVR'd documentary from Turner Classic Movies just last night called "Cinema's Exiles: From Hitler to Hollywood" (2009), about the huge number of film-making refugees from Germany just prior to WWII, in which she featured prominently. Most of the points made about her in that film are made in the Wiki biography about her. As an old fan, I already knew most of anyway, and while I admit that the heavy makeup is the first thing I noticed in this photo of her at age 51, my immediate next thought was that her inner beauty of strength of character and humane ethics needed no makeup or embellishment. She was right among the first to open her home to refugees and get them into jobs and homes of their own, and was right at the top in sales of war bonds and among the most hardworking entertaining the Allied troops around the world. The vanity of a bit of makeup and later a bit of plastic surgery seem trivial amid such a life lived in anything but vain. Living gracefully is more rare and important than the superficiality of "aging gracefully". I confess stereo wars with my sister during high school involved me listening to Dietrich in my room and my sister listening to Led Zeppelin in hers. Before the touch-upLooks like a photographer's proof before the touch ups are done. [It's not a "proof" because this is a scan of the camera original. The magazine's color printing process alone would smooth everything out a good deal. -tterrace] Wrong terminology.I think the magazine publisher in an earlier comment used the wrong terminology. Ben-Day dots differ from halftone dots in that the Ben-Day dots are always of equal size and distribution in a specific area. To apply the dots to a drawing an artist would purchase transparent overlay sheets. Photographs and artwork are converted to halftone dots for reproduction, whether it be for letterpress or offset production. Yes, sometimes they will tend to lose detail especially when using a coarser line screen. I've been a graphic designer for over 40 years. (Kodachromes, LOOK, Phillip Harrington, Portraits)

Low self-esteemOddly enough, the majority of the people are clustered around Meyer's Misfits which perhaps would indicate they didn't have a very high opinion of themselves.

You've posted many street scenes from numerous cities, but I can't recall any with so many bicycles. Rack itApparently the bank wasted their money on the bike racks. They don't seem to be very popular. When we were 21 ?An early film, perhaps? There was to be one in 1921, but I couldn't find anything earlier. [Large movie theaters and feature-length films were still a bit in the future in 1904. The Bastable offered live theater, both vaudeville and plays, such as "When We Were Twenty-One," a 1901 four act comedy by H.V. Esmond. It was also filmed in 1915 and adapted for another in 1930. -tterrace] Darned treesIt's hard to see, but this is pretty much where the image was taken.

I'm going to guess this is 1956 judging from the packet of negatives it was with that seem to date from that year. I don't know who these people are but at first I thought the lady was going to dance but she's probably leaving due to her holding a purse. Look at the awesome tie the guy in the corner has. Scanned from a Kodak safety negative. View full size. 1950s Objets d'artOn the wall we have a set of framed embossed foil floral representations (filling the same decorative ecological niche as black velvet paintings did somewhat later), and equally if not more ubiquitous, a faux-Chinese landscape, done in vertical to suggest a paper scroll painting. Both available by the bushel in original editions at your local antiques emporium. Chinese motifs were, for some reason, an extremely popular interior design trend in the 50s. In mid-decade my model-building cohort's folks moved into a Craftsman-style home in Marin County, ripped out the interior and replaced it with a something resembling a lounge in a Las Vegas Chinese restaurant. Very well-done and stylish, but still. To those who maintain that the decade of my youth was a period of oppressive conformity and mind-numbing blandness, I say: look at the cars and men's ties. So trueMany of the younger generation, who don't remember the 50's, have no understanding of how the dullness and blandness of the era created the convulsive explosion of non-conformity known as the 60's. More or less the only really "Fabulous" thing about the 50's was Marilyn Monroe. However, if you want to reproduce an authentic 50's environment, just copy every detail in the photo. Let the good times roll...I also think she was fixin' to dance, she has the gleam in her eye and is ready to get down. Also note the jazzy golden metallic thead woven into both the modern furniture arm AND the radio speaker cover. Being an oldie, I too loved the fifties, everything was streamlined and beautiful, color was used generously and Ikea did not create everyone's environment. Clothing was sharp looking, people COULD smoke and drink (their choice), we did not have "food police", naughty kids got a smack when needed and everyone had more fun but NOTHING was as great as the best-looking cars EVER made (from the fifties through the seventies)in my humble opinion. Re: So trueI was actually being serious. As society and culture morph over time, there's always some of the baby that gets thrown out along with the bath water. re: re: So trueI actually misread your comment. I guess every era has its pros and cons. I had friends who were born in 1939, and were teens in this ear. They said it was stiflingly dull. I was born in 1946, and was a little kid. For me the world was safe and fun. (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery, Tonypix)
