Vintage photograph from 1949 taken by my great grandmother embellished with dried flowers.
Certificate of authenticity included.
Description- This photograph was discovered in one of my
great-grandmother’s old photo albums, a treasure trove of memories
she captured through the lens of her camera. As a passionate
photographer, she carefully documented the lives of her friends and
loved ones. Being one of the few African American nurses in her unit,
and often the only woman of color, must have felt isolated and lonely
at times. I’m glad she had a community of women like her to share life
with outside of work. It brings me immense joy to see this image of a
group of women gathered in communion, bonding, and savoring life
together. It’s fascinating to glimpse what my great-grandmother found
meaningful and intriguing in her world. Through her photographs, I can
see the joy that permeated her life, and it resonates deeply with me
across generations.
