This top photograph was taken in Santa Barbara in 1901 of Geneva Caldwell. A young woman who was probably into tiki. She moved to the Phillipines with her fellow teacher husband.
The Palm Canyon post card from Palm Springs, Ca was with these photographs.
"Gene" was evidently a much beloved teacher for many of her students accordng to Ema's writing. Ema is the other woman pictured in the bottom photo and I'm guessing she lived in LA as the photographers studio address is on the folder.
The note on the back of the photograph gave me alot of clues about these woman's lives.
Who,what,where,when.why and how. Here's a toast to Ema's teacher Geneva " Gene" and to Ema for these pictures she kept long ago. Post more photos, for our childrens children.
I found these photographs at a estate sale last week.
