When Ichiban boss Debbie blogged a Nervous Norvus 45 here yesterday, I was reminded of the positively eye-popping NN photos buried deep within the Life magazine archives. Photographer Ralph Crane snapped these images back in 1956 and they seem to have been hidden away in the vaults ever since.
Since Life's photographic treasures are not always labeled with 100% accuracy, finding them was a real stroke of luck. Instead of identifying him as Nervous Norvus, he's dubbed "Nervous Nervous" in the archives! Anyhow, these are only a few of the Nervous Norvus pictures they've got stashed away over there. Check out some more. Sure, many of them appear to be duplicates but have a look anyhow and your day will likely be made.

DEAD LINK
"Your search - nervous 1956 crane source:life - did not match any documents."
That's weird, the link is working fine on my end.
Since it's not cooperating for you, you can access the images by going to the Life photo archives and doing a search defined by those 3 words (1956, crane, nervous).
Here is the Life issue to find if you wanna get ink on your mitts -

Wow! These are great. Thanks, Greg and Solid Mess.
Fantastical photons...
Just realized I kept referring to him as Nervous Norvous rather than Nervous NORVUS. I made the corrections in the text above, but.....how'd that happen?
