Apparently taken on one of the grotesques of the Chrysler building in NYC.

That’s all i could find out so far.

The bathing suit looks like one from the early 1950s.

Not a particularly good one. Here hand seems to have lost it’s color, and her feet have lower saturation than the rest of the picture as well.

It’s could have been done before there was Photoshop…

Earlier cut and paste techniques were much less precise.

In fact i did some before computers, when it was literally cut and paste.

Photos or clipbook images, text that had been set on white paper to cut out…

Sometimes pasted on paper, sometimes pressed onto waxed white cardboard.

Then the whole thing was sent to the printers to be re-photographed.

You could lose a lot of detail and picture quality, especially from images that were transferred several times before the final print.

My dad was a commercial artist, he did a lot of that. I did a little photo-copier art in the pre computer art days. I still find the loss of color in her hand odd.

Translated from the Italian by Google Lens, it says from

“THE SUNDAY OF THE COURIER”
(Which is probably the Sunday Courier.)
20 JULY 1918

“Defeated by the roses. Near the Turin-Lingotto station, along a lonely path, Miss Guida Concetta Rinino, 28 years old, who was going to a relative with a beautiful bouquet of roses, was attacked by an unknown young man. The girl, rather than losing heart, defended herself with extraordinary energy, using the bouquet of flowers as a weapon. The fact was that the scoundrel, with his face all scratched up, had to flee. (Drawing by Walter Molinos)”

WALTER MOLINO SPECIALIZED IN DISASTER ART.
There’s a short article, and then a really good sampling of his work.

Coming back i realize that i must have been sleepy…

It’s not 1918 just because text recognition software read it as 1918, and the style of illustration is old fashioned.

The clothes, the hair, the purse the shoes, are obviously not WWI vintage.

No woman in the western world would have gone out the door in a skirt or hair that short, or a blouse that revealing.

I’m not saying she would have anywhere else, either, just leaving room for something i might not know about Eastern dress.

The resolution is very poor… but looking at the date myself, i think it says 1968, possibly 58.

I found one with better resolution:
It’s the 20th of July, 1958 edition.
 
 

OOPS !

When i was sent the image for this puzzle, it was labeled Nine Differences, but Nighthawks said there might be ten.

I did find ten, and he changed the title… but, sigh… not for me.
So i did what i could.

My solution was done on exactly the same picture you see… the only difference is in the title.

That shouldn’t make a “hole” lot of difference 😁

I want to say “Hope you can dig it”, but that is just painfully out of date.

Word on the street is that it would be a sign of old age.

Here you go…

A Nighthawks question, not a Susan question.

I just solve the puzzle… I don’t resolve issues concerning what counts.

Susan opinion, though… I looked, but i don’t see what you see there.

If others do, yes, it could be a very slight difference, probably unintended, which usually doesn’t count. Only Nighthawks can decide.

And if it did count, something else about that thing is already a difference, and all the changes to one thing can only count as one difference, so it’s moot.

Actually, that was the 2nd last one i found, and the very last was embarrassingly, glaringly, obvious.

i hate to admit, it was the
waistband on Claude’s jacket.

Sometimes eyes and brains just don’t coordinate, or they choose to play tricks.

On the theme of “First World Problems” I bought myself a new (To me) vehicle during the week, a 2019 Ford Ranger Wildtrak, to replace my 2004 Fiat Doblo small panel van. I had a company supplied Ranger Limited for six years, which unfortunately they refused to sell me when I retired two years ago, so I’ve bought myself a Wildtrak. I’ve been going through the settings/entertainment/navigation systems setting things up as I want them, and hit a snag.
One of the things I need to do is download the Ford App to my phone so I can access all of the functions like remote start etc. which is where the ‘FWP’ has kicked in, my phone (An iPhone 7) can’t install the App as the operating system can’t be upgraded to the minimum required (iOS 16), it can only go up to iOS 15…

So I’ve had to upgrade my iPhone, to a newer one that will run the newer iOS, so I can install the App that I need to access all the functions on my new vehicle…….!!

Like I said ‘First World Problems’!!!!!

Rangers are considered large vehicles over here in the UK.

Looks like a large vehicle to me, and I drive a Toyota Avalon. The Avalon is categorized in the USA as a large car.

Just looked up the Toyota Avalon, the Ranger is approximately 20 inches longer than the Avalon according the specs. I did read that because the ‘standard’ size of truck in the US is F150/RAM/Silverado sized, Rangers are considered ‘Medium’ sized trucks. Certainly compared with a normal sized saloon/sedan, the Ranger is somewhat larger.

My other vehicle is a long wheelbase Ford Transit, great vehicle to drive, and can carry a couple of tons, but can be a problem to park due to its size.

You hardly use the van for work any more, transporting clients?

It was such a project, with people contributing and everything… I thought you were still doing that, and it was a good gig.

You may have said on Ten Cats or elsewhere on GoComics but I’m pretty scarce there.

We’d finished a wonderful T-bone dinner, and two bees came and landed on the bones. I couldn’t tell what they were doing, but my wife zoomed in with her phone and videoed them cutting off scraps of meat and carrying it off.
