This notable and charming photograph shows children watching the story of "Saint George and the Dragon." According to his biographer, "Eisie [Eisenstaedt] had crouched down in front of the children, who became so emotionally involved in the play that, by the time the dragon was slain, they were totally unaware of the photographer's presence."
