Look at the drawings in photo #1, I can look at them all day, it shows what the kids were interested in back then. Loved the cowboy and the submarine:) and question, what does POS mean, I know only one meaning, but I doubt that's what they meant (or their mothers would have walloped them). I crack up at the bottom too, I think a kid was doing long division.

Great set
Areat set of images. Imagine the technical problems which these photogrphers encountered with their older equipment...

Thanks for sharing this. I will have to revisit it.

POS is sod viewed upside down... Guessing it is someone's initials as they did not have texting shortcuts then...

Thanks for the link.... A great set of shot depicting a time gone-by.

And the POS might be something to do with the Prospect Schools?

Thank you, thank you! And what mix of well known - including Weegee, Ruth Orkin, and Lisette Model - and relatively unknown photographers. And that first image really is a killer.clap
