that kodachrome color
Do yourself a favor and check out the collection of about 1,900 color slides by Carl Van Vechten at the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library. Did you notice that was Billie Holiday hiding behind the flowers? I didn't at first.
Major hat tip to the wonderful Nothing is New for turning me on to this collection. Check out their site for a few of the finer portraits including Eartha Kitt, Pearl Bailey and Alvin Ailey.
