- A Summer Afternoon in Niagara Falls July 1938
- Description
- On a bright July day in 1938, Doris Virginia Haushalter (1914–2003) and Dolores Inez Stunick (1917–1998) pause for a portrait outside a residence in Niagara Falls. Standing before the porch of the Michael Stunick house, the two women embody the effortless style of the late Depression era, from their carefully waved hairstyles to their light summer dresses. This snapshot, captured just a year before the world shifted toward war, preserves a quiet moment of companionship. Whether a planned visit or a casual summer afternoon, the image captures a sense of grace and poise before the complexities of the coming decade.
