Getty Images has posted a photo of Evelyn Waugh arriving in the U.S. on 31 January 1947. He is disembarking from the S.S. America in New York City and is on his way to Los Angeles to negotiate the sale of the film rights to Brideshead Revisited. That effort was unsuccessful, but Waugh did collect enough material on the trip to write another bestselling novel. This was The Loved One (1948) which was made into a film in 1965. His wife Laura accompanied him on this trip but is not in the photo.
