Presentation Transcript


  1. The 1950s was known as the ‟nostalgic‶decade because looking back everything seemed simple and optimistic. America was in a post war boom after World War 2. Manufacturing was converted for peaceful usages such as the auto industries, and the T.V.. The 1950s was the hay day of manufacturing, being middle class and being able to afford mostly anything. The middle class were able to be well dressed without spending as fortune. Larson‵s pictures depict the New  Yorkers at work and at play. Everything was beautifully built such as subways. It was the  elimination in 1963 to cause Jackie Kennedy to build a movement to preserve architecture such  as Grand Central Station.
