Wiki Library of Congress Mash UpSubmitted by fortheinfo on Mon, 06/04/2007 - 8:44pm.
The random shot took me to an article about George Doyle, an Irish football player. In the US that would be soccer player. There we no George Doyle photos, so I dumped it to Doyle and found four photos. I liked this one from the Office of War, 1943:
What you are witnessing are three things that would come to spell trouble for the United States. Take a close look at this photo and you'll see them for what they are. Smoking: Soldier number one is smoking. To make it worse, they're unfiltered cigarettes. For all we know, this is the person that caused the downfall of the smoking industry by not smoking properly.

Hitting the random button directed me to the RMV page. The first entry was Registry of Motor Vehicles, so I took it. My photo search for the whole name showed nothing. I then moved to Motor Vehicles and received 20 hits. Woot, our first go at this! I settled on the following photo by Alfred Palmer:
Imagine being a young, talented man. Your talent comes out in painting. Your creations inspire others, and cause a wellspring of emotion to flow from your family. The war is on and it's time to do your part. The army has the perfect job for you, painter. Will you be creating portraits? Will you be documenting history's finest moments? |
