Carl Muscarello is better known as the 'Kissing Sailor'. Alfred Eisenstaedt of 'LIFE' magazine took the photograph of a sailor kissing a nurse at the Times Square celebration on August 15, 1945, at the end of World War II. The photograph was one of many Eisenstaedt took that day, and he didn’t bother getting the names of anyone. Only after seeing the proofs did he realize that he had captured a decisive moment. On the 50th anniversary of the photograph, the couple was identified as Edith Shain and Carl Muscarello. This item is a signed 3x5 card. He dated it 'August 14, 1945'. Excellent!
