GOLDEN PORTRAITS


1945

Louis J. Pontolillo was a Marine in WWII, and Golden Portraits was a business he owned in Meriden, CT. I do not know if Louis Pontolillo took the photos himself but there is a very good chance he did. The first photo is scenes from Ie Shima and I believe that the photographer was stationed on Ie Shima based on his prayer to get more points so he could be discharged and go home.
