LIFE Magazine stunt in 1946
Toronto. Member George Dunbar has a warm spot for copyright and privacy issues.

Joel photographed members of the unsuspecting public who elected to check their looks in the mirror.
In 1946 the stunt sold magazines. Today it would inspire lawsuits no doubt… Click here or on the icon at left for the full story.
N.B. George credits this story to the blog “Fans in a Flashbulb“. Its a great site – take a look around!
