A sailor in a crisp white uniform leans in to kiss a woman standing before a dense ivy hedge, and the pale uniform against the dark green leaves makes the moment stand out sharply. The white dress uniform places the scene in the world of enlisted men on shore leave, when brief meetings and farewells were favorite subjects for photographers and picture magazines. Images like this one turned an ordinary embrace into a statement about devotion and the uncertainty of separation.
