Currently on view as part of the Stieglitz, Steichen, Strand exhibition up at the Metropolitan, through April 10. I was obsessed with Charlie Chaplin movies when I was little. We’d didn’t get any TV reception (I grew up in the sticks) and cable was a distant technological dream. So we watched a lot of Charlie Chaplin on VHS. I also think its interesting that Charlie Chaplin was selling Liberty Loans; Today that would be sort of like having Adam Sandler sell Treasury Bonds. Funny.

what a beautiful print
SUCH an incredible image!
Incredible. I get claustrophobic just looking at that image.
p.s. When are you going to unveil your living room? I’ve been excited to see it every since you posted about it a while back.
Wow, that photo is stunning! The energy is palpable. Thank you for posting it.
Abby, I love this photo! All of those hats! What a find.
Love this photo and would love to frame it for my ’30s black and white bathroom. Is it weird to look at Chaplin on the loo? And like others I’d love to see the living room.
What an amazing photo!
I always love to hear that I wasn’t the only one who grew up without television. My sisters and I grew up watching VHS tapes over and over again. One of my favorite’s was “Mrs. Arris Goes to Paris”.
