Wouldn’t it taste good?
Ice cream on a hot day tastes so good. This photograph taken by Hal Halberstadt makes the ice cream look good enough to eat. Halberstadt was acclaimed as a genius for photographing ice and ice cream. A Jack Keeler cartoon in the collection implies that the photograph was taken in a walk-in freezer, using a blowtorch to melt the ice cream.
