Budapest, 1957. Patrons sit outside one Budapest's famed cafés, the Gerbeaud. It's been on this site since 1870 and is where they invented the famous cake of the same name. (It's delicious!) But what were these people in the photo thinking, and talking, about, only a year after the revolution when Soviet tanks rolled through these very streets?
@bananabob I think that is one the appealing aspects to these photos. We can make our own stories as to what is going on. Maybe these two were just too cool to look at the camera!
@bananabob That’s quite a reasonable view. At that time there would have been a lot of Russians about and everyone would have been on edge. The revolution would still have been fresh in everyone’s mind, especially in Budapest.
