EDITORS COMMENTS
An Unfortunate Guess: Love Lost over Weight Miscalculation". In this black and white portrait captured by Central News in the 1920s, we witness a bittersweet moment frozen in time. The print tells the tale of Mr Robert Widaseck from Irvington, New Jersey, whose engagement took an unexpected turn due to a weight estimation gone wrong. As the story goes, Miss Maize Ball embarked on a journey to Toledo without informing her soon-to-be husband about her detour. Worried for her safety and unaware of her whereabouts, Mr Widaseck turned to the authorities for help. In his description to the police, he mentioned that she weighed approximately 143 pounds and possessed enchanting brown eyes. Little did he know that this seemingly harmless guess would shatter their dreams of matrimony. Upon reuniting with his beloved bride-to-be, Mr Widaseck discovered that his estimate had missed its mark. Perhaps it was an innocent mistake or simply bad luck; nevertheless, it proved enough for Miss Ball to call off their engagement. In this monochrome image filled with nostalgia and emotion, we see Miss Ball's striking beauty showcased through her brunette locks and delicate features. A single rose adorns her hair as if symbolizing lost love or unfulfilled promises. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even small misunderstandings can have profound consequences on matters of the heart - forever altering destinies once intertwined.
