The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: WWII MAG PHOTOS
Signed Walter Thornton agency pinups, illustrated magazine beauty features, and souvenir programs from Earl Carroll's Hollywood and the Florentine Gardens trace the glamour culture that entertained servicemen during World War II. Inscribed to a recipient named Paul, several prints show how this print and nightclub imagery traveled directly from the home front to the troops.
