By: Margaret Bourke-White Cocktails on Gorky Street, Moscow 1941

The dark floors, leading to the light walls and beams is really pretty. The architectuarl structure of the whole room is beautiful, especially the steps. The whole picture looks really elegant including the people and everyone looks like they are having a good time.However, in contrast, in 1941 Moscow was at war and most of it's people were living in brutal conditions. Overall I really like the picture though.
