Winston Book Genre U.S. History / Post WWII Photograph Title Title of photograph Hotshot Eastbound passing the Iaeger Drive-in, Iaeger, West Virginia 1956 (large detail) Photo Genre Genre of Photograph Documentary (Night) Designer Designer of book cover Coe, Diana Author Author of the book upon which the photograph appears Boyer, Paul S. Notes Notes associated with the item <em>Hotshot Eastbound passing the Iaeger Drive-in</em> is one of photographer O. Winston Link's signature images; certainly one of the most often reproduced. Here, on the cover of Paul S. Boyer's history of the United States and its post-war status in the world, we observe in the span of one photo the sweep of progress in modes of transportation, from the locomotive to the automobile to the jet airplane (Link montaged the plane image onto the screen). Also noted is the young couple in the convertable at the drive-in; a classic scene from the '50s, right out of Quentin Tarantino, with the caveat that Tarantino would not be born for another seven years.<br />Stylistically, Link's photo is slightly cropped and toned blue for the cover, and has a ragged-edge look that is reminiscent of Polaroid positive-negative (Type 55) film.<br /><br />To view an original version of O.
