  this is a wonderful shot! and the colors- were they restored?
  
  I was trying to think of a tag that said something like "beginning of women's liberation movement" but more concise- ideas?

  Excellent photo! Love the colors. It blows my mind how this photo survived with great colors! I enjoy the color match of her lipstick and the pen in her hand. I also like the history..how people dressed back then and actually "dolled" up for work like this woman in the 40's.

  Easily recognizable. He had no neck. But he was a really smart guy.

• Art Siegel said:

  Though the date written on the negative is 3/4/22, the medal he is wearing is from an electrical engineering convention in Cincinnati in August, 1915.
