The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 1
Color and black-and-white photographs from a 1949 album associated with General Jonathan M. Wainwright follow his travels along Mexico's Pacific coast, where charter fishing boats crowd Acapulco marinas and cliffside villas cling to granite outcrops. Bullring scenes from Mexico City and a canal-side temple pavilion in Bangkok extend the journey well beyond the battlefield.
