<p>Kenneth Heilbron became the School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s first photography instructor in 1939, and he also had a long, successful career as a commercial photog-rapher. He worked as the city’s bureau photographer for <em>Time</em> and <em>Life</em> magazines; shot for other publications, such as <em>Fortune</em>; and garnered recognition for his fashion and advertising work, especially for Marshall Field & Company. This advertising image, emblematic of sensible post-war fashions, was taken in front of the Wrigley Building on Michigan Avenue. The glazed terracotta of its facade and the northwest bridge house of the DuSable Bridge, commis-sioned by William Wrigley Jr., are visible in the background.</p>
