In the August 13,1951 edition, LIFE published a “Romance in Photographic Fiction.” - “On these pages LIFE presents, and as a venture into photographic fiction,the myth of a man and a girl falling in appreciate. All of the pictures taken as they might have been seen through the eyes of the man. The captions were written as he himself might have spoken…” This image appears at the very cessation of the myth with the following caption: “Near the cessation of summer, after we had been apart for many weeks, or I met her unexpectedly at a beach with her new admirer. She was enjoying herself,I thought, all too obviously, and it was all too obvious to myself that I was still in appreciate with her. Perhaps I always will be.” (Leonard McCombeThe LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images) #1950s #lovestory #tbt
