V-J Day Bookmark

The famous kiss.

When U.S. President Harry S. Truman declared the end of the war with Japan on August 14, 1945, there were spontaneous acts of joy throughout the United States. In Times Square, a sailor grabbed a nurse and gave her a big kiss. Captured on film by both U.S. Navy photojournalist Victor Jorgensen and Alfred Eisenstaedt is the inspiration for this bookmark. Bks9604 finish: solid brass, electroplated with non-tarnishing silver finish, giclee print dimensions: approx. 1.75 w x 3.75 l. packaged in an acetate sleeve with a provenance card.
