Those red lines are not random repairs — they trace old chimney flues inside the wall.

In many older Paris apartment buildings, fireplaces and stoves were connected to vertical clay or brick flues that carried smoke up to the chimney pots above. When a side wall or firewall is exposed, these routes can appear like reddish veins climbing the façade.

They are basically the building’s old smoke paths, still visible in the masonry.

A Time Capsule from Paris in 1930

First published for the May 29, 1943 cover of The Saturday Evening Post is Norman Rockwell's painting, "Rosie the Riveter."

Norman Rockwell's Rosie the Riveter received mass distribution on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post on Memorial Day, May 29, 1943. Rockwell's illustration features a brawny woman taking her lunch break with a rivet gun on her lap, beneath her a copy of Hitler's manifesto, Mein Kampf and a lunch pail labled "Rosie". Rockwell based the pose to match Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling painting of the prophet Isaiah.

Rockwell's model was a Vermont resident, then 19-year-old Mary Doyle Keefe who was a telephone operator near where Rockwell lived, not a riveter. Rockwell painted his "Rosie" as a larger woman than his model, and he later phoned to apologize. The Post's cover image proved hugely popular, and the magazine loaned it to the U.S. Treasury Department for the duration of the war, for use in war bond drives.
