Einstein and Pinocchio?
In this fascinating photograph, physicist Albert Einstein is shown with a mini model of himself, in the form of a puppet that might have given PInocchio a run for his money. The puppet belonged to a traveling group of performers that were making their way through the US in the 1930’s. Judging by his expression in the photograph, he was happy with the puppet, and sufficiently satisfied that it captured his essence.

Don’t Look Down
New York City was in a phase of great industrial expansion in the 1960’s. When the Manhattan Company merged with Chase, they needed a new building to operate from. The project would involve over 3000 workers, and in what is now seen as an iconic photograph, all the workers are shown inside the building. Windows hadn’t been fitted yet on all the floors, so there must have been some people who were very scared to look down. They probably wished for the photograph to be taken quickly.
