Water Sprites: 1942
June 1942. "Brooklyn, New York. Red Hook housing development. Children in wading pool at play center which is supervised by the city's Department of Parks. There are separate pools for swimming and diving. Charge is nine cents for children, twenty-five cents for adults." Acetate negative by Arthur Rothstein for the Office of War Information.

Front and center
A youngster is staring directly at Arthur Rothstein while marching straight towards him. The kid ain't afraid and I suspect Arthur Rothstein is about to get a little wet.
Meanwhile, a little to the left, a young man is crouching with his hands cupped, no doubt intending to splash water on the unobservant young ladies. He's at that age where he thinks this is flirting.
