Miss Atomic Bomb, 1957 Atomic Test, Yucca Flat, 1953

“The atomic test series was a wonderful thing for Las Vegas in terms of publicity. Not only did we publicize the bomb with photos and anything we could, but all of the national press, international press were here for weeks on end … we had Miss Atomic Bomb, a cheesecake picture of a girl in a bathing suit with cotton in the shape of a mushroom cloud …. what could be more frivolous than that? We just didn’t realize the seriousness of what was going on.” - Don English, Las Vegas News Bureau.

“Miss Atomic Bomb” was pure publicity, one of a series of photos by Las Vegas News Bureau aimed at getting the Las Vegas into the national news. The model was Anna Lee Mahoney, Sands Copa Girl who used the stage name Lee A. Merlin. Her married name was Ann Lee Ecker. Her identity was unknown until 2025.

J.R. Eyerman (US, 1906 - 1985)

Audience wearing special 3D glasses to view film Bwana Devil, shot with new “natural vision” 3d technology. Paramount Theater, Hollywood, California, November 26, 1952.

There exist at least two versions: one, employed for the cover of the Society of the Spectacle, depicts its elegantly attired audience in a virtually trance-like state of absorption, their faces grim, their lips pursed, the other shot of the same audience, however, the 3-D spectators are laughing, their expressions of hilarity conveying the pleasure of an uproarious, active spectatorship.

A detail of J.R. Eyerman’s photo (1952) was used for the cover design of the 1983 English edition of Guy Debord’s La Société du Spectacle (The Society of the Spectacle). The cropped selection used for the book was also flipped from left to right.
