“Ellen Bishop”
These pictures were in the box with a lot of other and older pictures – 1930’s – and that is only “me” guessing?? The only thing that I know for sure is that “ELLEN BISHOP” is the little girl in the center of the picture on the left and “ELLEN BISHOP” in on the right of the four girls – that is the picture on the right.
These pictures belong to “MARIE BRADY” – as it was in her handwriting on the back saying – ” Ellen Bishop in the center!” This could be a relatives gathering, “the Bishop Family inviting the Brady Family” to a maybe Birthday Party for little Ellen Bishop – – as she is dressed for a party and the other little girls look like they are doing what is generally done – at a party – standing around and having your picture taken – whether – – you are ready or not?
What caught my eye was the new shoes on Ellen Bishop? Those beautiful new white and so very clean shoes and the new white socks with lace – – and then the legs are so thin and the poise and pose – reminds me of girls who take dancing lessons – and when ever they are just standing around – almost always stand as if and from any direction – someone could be snapping a photo – and anyone in the know – knows… always stand as if this photo is to be sent to the Saint Louis Post-Dispatch Newspaper – and a story with this photo will look beautiful – on the front page?
“That’s my best guess” – “What do you think?”
