[Leica] IMG: 1949-50: Family, friends, NYC

[Adam Bridge]

How wonderful! You can see suburban America built right before your eyes. It’s like finding someone else’s shoebox of photos and looking through them.

I wonder if that’s the SS UNITED STATES in the background of one image? It’s in United States Lines livery, I think and the stacks are swept back. It could be the AMERICA, perhaps.

Thanks for sharing these Peter. Somehow they really connected for me.
