I felt like I should post this wonderful public domain image by Toni Frissell of a floating mermaid in 1947. I love this picture. It was originally used in the December 1947 issue of Harper's Bazaar magazine. I was later used in a 1955 issue of Sports Illustrated..
Taken from the Toni Frissell collection in the Library of Congress.

Odd how we are so strongly attracted to an image of such associations with death.
