Photos from the World War II era
From Art Palmer:
The attached picture of the Kretchmer in China was taken by a chinese as we went
up the Wangpoo River into Shanghai. He had them on a postcard by the next day.
It is considered public domain. I took the liberty of removing a few creases, etc.
that occurred over the past 58 years. This is what I painted my first Kretchmer
painting from. I just put her out in the ocean.
1. Shanghai 1946
