Salvador Dali and Man Ray
Paris, France
June 16, 1934

Man Ray (born Emmanuel Radnitzky) (August 27, 1890 – November 18, 1976)
was an American artist who spent most of his career in Paris, France. Described
 as a modernist, he was a significant contributor to both the Dada and Surrealist
movements; although his ties to each were informal. Best known in the art world
 for his avant-garde photography, Ray produced major works in a variety of media
and was a renowned fashion and portrait photographer, even though he considered himself a painter above all. Ray is also noted for his work with photograms, with the artist coining the term "Rayographs" in reference to himself

Great Seal of the United States.
The Banking Act of 1933, enacted June 16, 1933, was a law that established the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to insure bank deposits in the
United States. It also introduced other banking reforms. The act was a reaction to the
collapse of a large portion of the American commercial banking system in early 1933.
It is most commonly known as the Glass–Steagall Act, after its legislative sponsors,
 Senator Carter Glass (D-VA) and Congressman Henry B. Steagall (D-AL).
