{{/presale}} {{#promotion_on}}The photograph V-J Day in Times Square, taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt on August 14, 1945, marked the moment Japan surrendered, bringing World War II to a close. The picture quickly became one of the most recognizable images in American history, representing joy and relief after years of hardship. First printed in Life magazine, it has been shared and reproduced countless times as a symbol of victory and peace. Right now, 12 oz Antique Finish The Kiss Silver Statues are available from BGASC.
Highlights:
Each 12 oz Antique Finish The Kiss Silver Statue ships in a protective box and includes a Certificate of Authenticity. The antique finish adds a timeless appearance, while the purity and unique serial number are laser-etched on each statue. These pieces are crafted in sterling silver, meaning each one contains .925 fine silver.
Design
The 12 oz Antique Finish The Kiss Silver Statue design faithfully recreates this moment. It features the sailor in his white uniform kissing a woman dressed in white while surrounded by cheering crowds in Times Square. Over the years, many people claimed to be the couple, but the most widely accepted names are George Mendonsa, a Navy quartermaster, and Greta Zimmer Friedman, a dental assistant.
History
Eisenstaedt captured the raw emotion of the day, showing how people poured into the streets to celebrate. He described how the sailor in the picture was moving through the crowd, kissing women in a wave of happiness as the war came to an end.
