almost looks like a set up for a poster. expert lighting.

It's posed. The shirt is crisp from the laundry (and is too good to be wearing while working on machine tools), while her hands are unnaturally clean. Still, a nice picture.

This guy knew how to light - excellent.

husbands at war, wifes working. A period I did not know (born in 1950), but having heard so much of this. Your library is very moving, for all what it shows, and the very historical memories.

Excelente fotografía de claroscuro.Tanto la mujer como la máquina están muy bien modeladas por la luz.La posición central del motivo sugiere el carácter estático de la escena.

Looking back to the Anzac Day celebrations in Mackay (1920 - 1930). The Customs House building is visible at the far right of the image. The Mackay community has long supported the Anzac Day parade - a time when our community gathers in the city center to pay tribute to those who served our country.

On 22 December 1947, 30,000 people watched a State funeral procession held in Brisbane for an unknown US soldier, who was transported on a gun carriage from the US Mausoleum No.4 at Redbank to King George Square in Brisbane. The soldier had been chosen to represent a total of 1871 US service personnel who were being repatriated to the US from cemeteries in Ipswich (1406 souls*, site now Manson Park), and Rookwood in Sydney (465 souls). Their steel caskets were carried to the Newstead wharf, and were loaded onto the American ship USAT Goucher Victory. At this time calls were made for a memorial to commemorate America’s WWII assistance to Australia, and the presence of the Americans in Brisbane. The Australian-American Memorial at Newstead Park was erected by the Australian-American Association, which had started public fundraising in March 1950, and construction in May 1951.
