This 2003 Carlton Cards Heirloom Collection ornament recreates one of the most iconic images ever printed on a LIFE magazine cover: the jubilant V-J Day kiss in Times Square, often described as “the kiss that spoke for a nation.” Designed like a miniature LIFE issue, the ornament is rectangular and full-color, with the historic photograph framed in classic magazine-cover style—an instantly recognizable piece for history buffs, photojournalism fans, and vintage Americana collectors. As originally issued, it comes with its Carlton Cards Heirloom gift box and insert, plus the dated hang tag/label when found new-in-box. It’s a static ornament with no motion, sound, or lighting, so it does not require batteries, cords, or light strings.
