Los Angeles 1923: a group of three women and a young child pose on the porch of a Los Angeles home in this original vintage black and white snapshot photograph. The women are identified in green ink on the back as Leona, Bernice Janney, Mrs. Cohen, and Mrs. Garde; the back also notes the address 1801 W. 41st Drive, Los Angeles, and the date 9/23/23 (September 23, 1923).
Fashion details: the women wear classic 1920s fashion — a pleated skirt with patterned blouse, a dark fur-trimmed coat, and a light belted dress; the child stands beside them holding a small box. Potted plants flank the porch steps of the house behind them.
A wonderful piece of Americana and Los Angeles history — vernacular photography documenting everyday life in 1920s California. The Los Angeles location claim is supported by the inscription on the back of the photo.
Back inscription, transcribed exactly:\"Leona Bernice Janney, Mrs. Cohen, Mrs. Garde. / 1801 W. 41st Drive. / Los Angeles / 9/23/23\"
Condition: vintage photograph with light age wear. The back shows black mounting-residue spots at three corners from a former album mount. Please examine the photos closely.
Size: 3 x 4 1/2 inches.
