Communion princess, Lenola

Girl in Communion dress.

Scanned from glass negative.

Photo by Benedetto Tatarelli.

On the original glass negative, on the glass side, there were fragments of red dye around

the girl's face; this dye must have functioned to harmonize her skin tones with the rest of the photograph.

But I have no idea why there would been this difference in the first place.

Late 1920's, early 1930's.
