Description


The proud, photogenic star of this picture belonged to a new breed of chicken developed at the Poultry Research Station in St. Borki (present-day Birki, Ukraine). The research center—which continues to operate to this day—is the only such facility in the country dedicated exclusively to poultry research and tracks the status and performance of poultry breeds throughout the region. Iosif-Rafail Diament likely intended the picture to promote, rather than simply document, the new breed of chicken.



Provenance[Manfred Heiting, Malibu, California]; purchased by MFAH, 2002.

Following Navy tradition, the Cruiser SANTA FE risks its own destruction by moving alongside to within "arm's length" of the FRANKLIN in order to fight the fires and to remove exhausted and injured crewmen. Bringing the cruiser in such close proximity to the carrier was a magnificent feat of seamanship on the part of the skipper and officers of the SANTA FE.
