Fresca here.
So adorable. Funny to think those kids from 1941 might still be alive now.
Do you think the kids pose for the camera – – cooperating with the photographer – – or they just happen to be there?
I suspect that the photographer was cooperating with the kids. Take a look at these photos, with kids making their way down the block:

is that a bird cage in the upper window?
Looks like at least one, maybe more.
Oh, yes, I see—so funny! I can imagine possible interactions, like a little movie (a newsreel) in my mind.
