Description: Joe Munroe captures George Hawkins having a laugh on Malabar Farm in this 1946 picture. Hawkins was the press and scheduling manager for famed author Louis Bromfield, who owned Malabar Farm in Lucas, Ohio. Munroe's career began in 1939 at the Cranbrook Academy of Art. He served in the Air Force during World War II and then joined Cincinnati-based Farm Quarterly magazine. Though raised in Detroit, agriculture became an important subject of Joe's photographs. He moved to California in 1955 and free-lanced, taking magazine assignments and selling his own work. View on Ohio Memory.
