Writing on the back of the original photo reads only "Mr. William Halsey, captain?"
LIVINGSTON -- This undated photo of schoolchildren was taken in Livingston by Nathaniel Rubel as part of the Artist and Writers Project during the Great Depression.
Writing on the back of the original photo reads only "Mr. William Halsey, captain?"
A close look at the picture shows that while everyone is posed outside the building or in the first-floor windows, one person is 'crashing' the shot from a second-story window.
