The Story behind the Iconic “V-Day” Image
There are few images more iconic than the V-J Day in Times
Square (also V-Day and The Kiss) photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt
portraying a U.S. Navy sailor grabbing and kissing a stranger—a
woman in a white dress—on "V-J Day" in New York City’s Time
Square on August 14, 1945. The photograph was published a week
later in LIFE magazine, among many photographs of celebrations
around the United States that were presented in a twelve-page section
titled "Victory Celebrations". Kissing was a favorite pose encouraged
by media photographers of service personnel during the war, but
Eisenstaedt was photographing a spontaneous event that occurred in
Times Square soon before the announcement of the end of the war
was made by U.S. President Harry S. Truman at seven o'clock.
Similar jubilation spread quickly with the news.

Because he was photographing rapidly changing events during the
celebrations, Eisenstaedt did not have an opportunity to get the
names and details. The photograph does not clearly show the face of
either person involved, and numerous people have claimed to be the
subjects. The photograph was shot just south of 45th Street looking
north from a location where Broadway and Seventh Avenue converge.
Soon afterward, throngs of people crowded into the square and it
became a sea of people.
