{{/presale}} {{#promotion_on}}The iconic photograph V-J Day in Times Square was taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt on August 14, 1945, when Japans surrender brought World War II to an end. The image quickly became one of the most well-known photos in the country, symbolizing the relief and happiness that swept across America after years of war. It first appeared in Life magazine and has been reproduced countless times, becoming a lasting representation of peace and homecoming. Right now, 12 oz Silver Antique Finish The Kiss Statues are available from Provident Metals.
Highlights:
Each 12 oz Silver Antique Finish The Kiss Statue arrives carefully packaged in a protective box and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. These statues feature a detailed antique finish and include laser-etched markings with their purity and serial number. Every piece is made of sterling silver, with a silver content of .925 purity.
Design
The 12 oz Silver Antique Finish The Kiss Statue design brings that famous image to life. It shows the sailor in a white uniform kissing a woman in a white dress while the crowds of New York City celebrate in the background. For decades, the couples identities were debated, but the most widely accepted names are George Mendonsa, a Navy quartermaster, and Greta Zimmer Friedman, a dental assistant.
History
Eisenstaedts photo captured a moment of excitement and celebration that reflected the feelings of millions who had lived through the uncertainty of the war. He later shared that the sailor had been kissing women throughout Times Square as people around him cheered.
