samurman Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 The LIFE magazine's photo archives are accessible through Google images. There are some nice photos, especially from the black and white era. Try this search: http://images.google.com/images?sa=4&imgc=&imgsz=&q=fur+coat+source%3Alife Look at this picture of a lady wearing a huge fur coat and fur hat. Doesn't it look like one of Roninphy's designs? http://tbn0.google.com/hosted/images/c?q=c3ab77fb8e6b1e9b_large Also try this search: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=Fur+Industry+source:life&sa=N&start=0&ndsp=18 Very interesting photos about the fur trade and fur craftsmanship. I think this photo illustrates the fur cleaning process best: http://tbn0.google.com/hosted/images/c?q=d6db8365057481b0_large Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worker 11811 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Very cool link! Thanks for the tip! Check out this one: http://images.google.com...MaryMartin There are several related pictures. Be sure to read the captions! Yes! Even in 1938 they knew what fur was for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Fox Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I particularly like the caption "For personal use only". I could use someone who looked like that for personal use! But. Now. What would Peter Pan think of her? Am I right that she played that part? W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGalanos Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Samurman -- Great find! WF -- You are correct. Mary Martin is perhaps best remembered for Peter Pan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
