A Rather Stiff Pose

  

As I've mentioned before, I sometimes buy envelopes full of old photos.  Usually, I really want two or three images and I'm left with a number of photos, some pretty nice, but not something I'd go out of my way to buy.  Probably from the thirties or forties. 

Los Angeles via Hurricane, Utah 7

This is the last from this collection and it's a fitting end.  As I noted in the first post from this lot  these pictures from 1930s Los Angeles were found in Hurricane, Utah.  Now, photographs travel and I have no idea how this particular album page got from L.A. to Utah, a long way in the pre I-15 era.  However, this last row of images clearly are not from southern California.  The cold weather clothing is a dead giveaway.  A good guess, a family from Utah sent some photos to their family members who were trying their luck in Los Angeles.

The Dress

Believe it or not, I bought this photo because I liked the woman's dress.  It reminded me of designs I've seen in Frank Lloyd Wright buildings.
