Cherry trees line the Tidal Basin in this color slide, with the pale dome of the Jefferson Memorial rising across the water behind them. Tokyo gave the first Japanese cherry trees to Washington in 1912, and the memorial, designed by John Russell Pope, was dedicated in 1943, so by about 1950 the blossoms and the classical building had become a familiar spring view. Color slide film such as Kodachrome had come into common use by then, which helps explain the saturated pinks and the bright stone in the scene.
