Description: | This is the wedding portrait of Miriam Solomons to American G I Al Friedman, shown in uniform. It is inside a special card printed with the logo of the Boris Studio, Boris Bennett's famous photographic studio in Whitechapel. The card is inscribed to Lina and Bernie, Miriam Solomons' half-brother and sister-in-law. During and after World War II, thousands of British women became so-called 'G I Brides', marrying American soldiers who had been stationed in England and going back to America with their new husbands. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Jewish Museum, London | Rights holder: | With permission of the copyright holder. | Subjects: | London at War Youth Culture and Fashion | Temporal: | 1945-06-03 | Source: | Jewish Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
