This famous impromptu photograph of model Jean Patchett chewing on her pearls, waiting pensively in a café in Lima, Peru was taken in 1948, but appeared in the 15 February 1949 issue of Vogue. It was part of a photo-spread called “Flying Down To Lima” which incorporated fashion into a romantic travelogue as lived by the model. Taken by Irving Penn.
