Harold Edgerton

Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland at MGM Studios
1940

A man in a black tuxedo and bow tie and a woman in a vintage white dress with lace details are smiling and laughing against a dark blue background. The man's hair is neatly combed, and the woman's hair is styled in curls. They both appear to be in a joyful mood, possibly at a formal event or part of a staged scene.
