Re: Happy Mothers Day
In that 7th picture, I hope they had the ignition switch off. It looks like she is going to push down on the crank with her right arm. If it kicks, she could be seriously injured.

Re: Happy Mothers Day
The three gals in the last photo are delightful. I wonder what car they are in.
Thanks again.

Re: Happy Mothers Day
Somehow I missed this post until today. What a fantastic portrait of the three girls in the touring car! It is wonderful photography, both technically and artistically. A large format camera with a good lens combine with perfect lighting to give sharp detail and a full range of grays from white to black. The composition is inspired, with the top irons separating it into three portraits and simultaneously tying it together. This is a portrait of both faces and hands. The Mona Lisa smiles of the two older girls, contrasted with the seriousness of the youngest, add some emotional complexity. The oldest sister (surely they're sisters) holds the arm of the youngest with affection. Since 1839 there have been millions of photographic portraits, but few this good.
I tried a Google image search for this picture and found nothing about it, so I'm left wondering who they were and what kind of lives they had.

The three girls looking out from between the top bows are in a mid-teens Studebaker.
