Ralph Crane, “Arizona war worker writes her Navy boyfriend a thank-you note for the Jap skull he sent her.” Life, Picture of the Week: May 22, 1944, p. 35.

The Life magazine “Picture of the Week” from May 22, 1944, still shocks nearly seventy years later. In this photograph by Ralph Crane (1913–1988), viewers see a woman writing her boyfriend, an American soldier, a thank-you note for a strange and horrific gift: a Japanese soldier's skull. Passed by American censors and redeployed as anti-American propaganda in Japan, this photograph exposes the perils of mixing a foreign war, photography, and the home front mass media.
