A series of photos of a woman committing suicide by jumping out her window. The photographer and date is unknown.
this is one of those moments where u wonder if the photographer should have prevented this
It looks like she would’ve lived
this is morbidly creative…
Wow. That looks absolutely terrifying & traumatizing to witness.
It’s only 3 floors up! Why not go to the roof to be sure. She just looks like she hurt her leg.

I’m not sure whether the beauty of the photo is striking me or if it’s the history of it all.

so jealous…
At HBO’s Boardwalk Empire after party at the Waldorf Astoria there was an elaborate photo booth with props, backdrop and very flattering lighting. Alongside the luminous Tiffany Limos I got my Chalky White on.
This looks like so much fun. I’d live to have a 20s party.
Archivist Recovers a Picture of a Young FDR
Michael Horsley was in the middle of a long day scanning glass plate negatives at the National Archives’ Digital Imaging Lab in College Park, Maryland, when a single caption leapt out from among the hundreds whizzing across his monitor: “Laying the Keel of U.S.S Battleship No. 39 Arrival of Asst. Scty [sic] F.D. Roosevelt, & Others.” In that instant, Horsley’s brain fired that there was something there, and he asked his colleague to go back through the images that had passed by to find it again.
Horsley got a closer look at the image. A man in the foreground on scaffolding, watching a group of dignitaries pass below. “Striding confidently in the front of the group,” Horsley writes on the Archives’ blog, NARAtions, ”was a smiling figure wearing a stylish derby hat with his head cocked staring straight at the camera.” Could it be the future president? Horsley knew that at some point Roosevelt had contracted polio and used a wheelchair thereafter, but he wasn’t sure when that had occurred. Could this photo show Roosevelt walking? […]
When Horsley googled “FDR” and the “Brooklyn Navy Yard”, he was able to confirm the then-assistant secretary’s Navy Yard visit during the keel-laying ceremony on the day the photograph was taken, March 16, 1914. The figure was FDR. […]
The stories of this man and this ship would intersect again, less than three decades later, when Roosevelt took to the airwaves to announce to the nation the attack on Pearl Harbor. One of the ships that sunk that day was the Battleship Arizona, or “Battleship No. 39,” as it is labeled in the picture.
