Shanghai had been a thriving center for jazz and swing music during the 1930s and 1940s. These night clubs are vividly recreated in the opening segments of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom . I got deeper into this world when I had a chance to see some 1930s and 1940s era Chinese musicals when

ENHANCE YOUR ENVIRONMENT WITH AWARD WINNING ORIGINAL FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY! New Orleans Jazz Band A wonderful image of a traditional Dixieland jazz band in the French Quarter of New Orleans. This image captures a moment in time, but what moment? There are very few clues, from looking at the people, of the era. The warm, Rembrandt type lighting and deep contrast make it timeless. This image has an interesting history behind it. Although captured in 1980, I had to wait twenty-five years for technology to catch up in order to be able to present it as was originally intended. Only with modern scanning and printing technology was I able to bring out the shadow detail and rich tones that make the image exceptional. This jazz-inspired fine art is the perfect gift for a music lover or jazz connoisseur, and will add warmth to any room or décor. Original fine art photography by Jim Lipschutz 🌎 I've been photographing around the world for over forty years and I'm presenting here what I consider my finest images. I hope you enjoy them! For more on my personal philosophy, please visit https://etsy.me/2pVmEwi. THE PRINT: This image is printed on Fujicolor Crystal Archive Digital Pearl paper. This medium marks a new era in the printing of high quality glossy digital images. Pearl-like crystals give silver halide color prints a specific luster, creating a distinctive pearl-like appearance and brings out the full tonal range and color vibrance of the image. All printing is done by a lab that provides prints for major museums and galleries. 11x14 or 16 16x20 or 24 20x24 or 30 These dimensions are for the paper. There is a white border of about 1/2". This is to allow for easy matting and handling. If you would rather have the image printed to the full size of the paper, without a border, please indicate that in the comments section of the order. If the image is of a non-standard size, then the image will be printed to fit the paper and there will be extra white space on the sides. All prints come unframed. The print is shipped in a clear plastic envelope, flat and not matted, in a sturdy cardboard box. This is to allow the buyer to select the mat and frame locally since this is a personal decision and should be done with the advice of an experienced local frame shop. The print is being offered here in three sizes, but if you have other needs or want it in another format (canvas, different size, etc.), please contact me and I will accommodate your request.

经典的建筑，悠久的历史。 国泰电影院原名国泰大戏院（CATHAY THEATRE），坐落在上海市卢湾区 淮海中路870号（茂名南路口），紧邻地铁一号线陕西南路站3号出口。建于1930年，由鸿达洋行设计，钢筋混凝土结构，外墙采用紫酱红的泰山砖，白色嵌缝，属典型的装饰艺术派风格，1994年被上海市人民政府命名为优秀历史建筑。1932年1月1日，国泰大戏院正式对外营业。当天登在《申报》上广告用语是："富丽宏壮执上海电影院之牛耳，精致舒适集现代科学化之大成"。解放以后更名为国泰电影院，"文化大革命"期间曾经一度改名人民电影院。 www.guotaifilm.com/company.asp 反正很早就知道这个电影院，一说国泰普通人第一个能联想到是成语“国泰民安”。当然还是有很多人能联系到“国泰航空公司”，我一直在怀疑国泰航空公司在成立的时候，创始人在上海的某个咖啡馆很可能是在法租界，抑或就是在霞飞路（淮海路）。他们俩路过这个国泰电影院，然后就把想成立的航空公司也叫这个名字，结果英文就在Cathay后加了个Pacific，然后中文直接叫“国泰”了。个人觉得说是在啥马尼拉酒店想出来的真的是“据说”了。这么有文化的名字两个老外怎么可能想得出啊。英文Cathay的意思本来也就是“中国”。 国泰航空公司的历史介绍：English and Chinese version quoted from CX website. American Roy C Farrell and Australian Sydney H de Kantzow founded Cathay Pacific Airways in Hong Kong on 24 September, 1946. Initially based in Shanghai, the two men eventually moved to Hong Kong and founded Cathay Pacific Airways. Legend has it that Farrell and a group of foreign correspondents thought up the airline's unique name in the bar at the Manila Hotel! 国泰航空由美国籍的 Roy C Farrell 及澳洲籍的 Sydney H de Kantzow 于1946年9月24日创办。最初，他们均以上海为发展基地，后来决定迁往香港，并成立国泰航空(据说，国泰的名字原是由 Farrell 及一群外国通讯员于马尼拉酒店的酒吧想出来的！ www.cathaypacific.com/cpa/en_INTL/aboutus/cxbackground/hi...
