War's End Poster at postergods.com

There’s nothing like having the spontaneity of history forever captured on your walls. For that is what photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt’s “War’s End Kiss” or “Victory of Japan Day: Times Square” really represents: history within a single moment, or to the romantic type—a single kiss.
The photo was taken within seconds August 14, 1945 in Times Square by Eisenstaedt for Life magazine.
Over the years several people have claimed to be the two kissers in the picture; however, the specific details of the events have always been undermined by the magic behind the single kiss within the single moment. In the end it does not matter who was kissing who—in fact as Eisenstaedt recalls in his memoirs he “[just] noticed a sailor coming [and] he was grabbing every female he could find and kissing them all — young girls and old ladies alike”. The picture is not about capturing a lover’s embrace or to tell a story of how love occurred, rather it is simply that two people connected for that moment in time because a war was over. And details of these sorts of things are never as important as the emotion of a single moment.
