This photo is from the Minneapolis Tribune in between the time The Beautiful and Damned and The Great Gatsby were published. Gatsby continues to fascinate us today, a new film adaptation with Leonardo DiCaprio as Gatsby is scheduled to be released on May 10th, 2013.
Gatsby was born on September 24, 1896.
