Nothing is known about the photograph so here are some guesses.
- It looks like early Fifties, judging by the lengths of the dresses.
- The couple in the back appears to have a plan and they're on the way to something.
- No-one is really well-dressed but all dress smartly.
- Casanova is putting a heavy woo on his Dream Date and is probably drunked-up at least somewhat to be coming on that hard in broad daylight.
- Dream Date doesn't seem to mind Casanova terribly but what does she think of the photographer since she doesn't seem too pleased by that presence.
- Those stairs must lead down to a subway since we can see people eating at this level of the restaurant behind them.
- It must be a relatively classy place judging by the chandeliers but the neon DINNER sign says something else.
- There's a much lower evident standard of income in that time but it's not enough information to really get how the time was.
Whoa, they're wearing 'frocks,' aren't they. I remember my ol' Mother using that word but it's hardly ever heard now.
Ed: that's because yer mammy ain't there
Thanks for that observation, Bounty Hunter, but I never even see the word written. That one seems to have poofed.
Ed: so what?
No particular reason. I just noticed that. There's much flummery when a word enters the language but not when it evaporates. First the word falls into disuse and then, the ultimate insult, to be dismissed from the dictionary.
Ed: but is it art, damn it?
How the hell should I know. I see the pic and it asks questions so I wonder.
