You got it Cap'n . Migrant mother was the name of the photo, taken by FSA photographer Dorothea Lange- to bring awareness and compassion for these victims of the great depression.
Glad to see you join in here-, take a turn. And welcome to the thread, would you like a cold drink? Perhaps some crudités - maybe a cookie? (Somehow I seem to have evolved - in spookie's absence- into the snapshot hostess. )
Anyway, give us a new post, if you don't mind, C. Steel. Would you like me to adjust that chair for you? Perhaps a cup of tea???Relax😄.....and join us.

It was the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915 by a German U-boat. Went down in 18 minutes.
Here's an interesting one:

That must be Leo the MGM lion being filmed for the MGM movie opening logo...P.S. MGM over the years used different lions for the movie title opening.

The first ever Hollywood "silent film"? Reckon Orson cracked it. That appears to be a sound technician so I was well off track. Taking a risk being in a cage with a wild lion tho. This snapshot was appropriate too for the Silver Screen thread.

Jackie was the first lion who roared; whereas Telly was the first one filmed in color. Evidently there have been 7, with the only one actually named "Leo" in use since 1957. It's interesting that he was the youngest of the lions used, hence his much shorter mane.

Right you are, CR! This picture was identified as being from 1929, so it was either the lion named "Jackie" , or the one named "Telly".

Never noticed that about the lion @Citizen Rules . You must be very observant. I' ll take your turn ( but I hope your internet gets fixed soon)

The painting was featured in the HBO "John Adams" series, as Adams (now at the end of his life) chastised the painter for the art's inaccuracy, as the signers were never all together at one historical moment to all line up for the signing, but rather, the document was signed by members of the Continental Congress over the course of many months.
Also... if memory serves correct, in the final shot of the movie 1776, the representatives are depicted approaching the Declaration and are arranged in positions to match the Trumball painting.

Wow! That's a great answer. I would have just taken "signing of the declaration" . Now that you mentioned it, I remember learning in school that it wasn't signed at the same time.
Take a turn CS ( in fact that answer was so good, if it were up to me, you could take two. )
