Thanksgiving ragamuffins, No.16-18., 1933

Photo 10 of 20 at Perry Street & Bleecker Street, Manhattan

Thanksgiving ragamuffins, No.16-18.

1933

(1) Thanksgiving Ragamuffins, 1933, No. 16. Some of the group shown in No. 15, standing in front of the grocery store at 383 Bleecker Street, on the S.E. corner of Perry Street. November 30, 1933. P. L. Sperr. (2) No. 17. Another pair, in the same location. November 30, 1933. P. L. Sperr. (3) No. 18. The same location. This boy is wearing one of the Mickey Mouse costumes created by Walt Disney Enterprises, Incorporated. "Mickey Mouse" is one of the most popular and successful animated cartoon creatures originated in the early 1920's by Walt Disney, and will possibly succeed in winning a permanent place in the juvenile pantheon. At the time of this picture Mickey was already becoming internationally known, in France as Michel Souris, for instance, and in the Spanish-speaking word as Miguel Ratoncito. November 30, 1933. P. L. Sperr.
