Photographer Photographer Orkin, Ruth Author Author of the book upon which the photograph appears Calderon, Ruth Book Genre Talmud / Jewish legends / Jewish history Photograph Title Title of photograph An American Girl in Italy, Florence, 1951 (detail) Notes Notes associated with the item An American Girl in Italy is undoubtedly Ruth Orkin's best known photograph, and one of the most recognized of the early post-WWII era. Despite it's 'fly on the wall' appearance, it is not quite a candid street photograph in the classic sense. Orkin was in Italy after having completed an assignment for Life magazine in Israel. By chance, she met Ninalee Craig at an American Express office in Florence. The two got to talking and discovered that they were staying in the same hotel. Craig, a 23 year-old schoolteacher from New York, was traveling in Europe to broaden her horizons. She agreed to be a moving model for Orkin, walking through the streets, as Orkin photographed her and the reactions of those (men in particular) around her. A Bride For One Night is author Ruth Calderon's interpretation of tales from the Talmud, a book of parables and teachings for Jews, written around 500 C.E. One might see Orkin's image as a modern illustration of various Talmudic teachings regarding relations between the sexes.
