Rabbit Rabbit 🐇🐇

These photographs can be found in the Life Magazine Archives. They were taken in 1943 by Marie Hansen, one of the first female photojournalists employed by the magazine, at the Rabbit Breeders Association Show on Long Island. Oddly, there are no contact sheets and no captions … the photos were never published.

Did anyone else watch #RememberWenn ? I just learned it's available to watch for the first time in 24 years (oh God the bad VHS copies I had!)

And there was an online reunion back in February! I grinned as each of these familiar faces appeared on screen! https://youtu.be/AmwhQbwCcUA. This was such an important piece of media for me growing up 😍
