Studio glamour portrait of young woman named Opal. Probably taken in 1930's - 1940's.
This was found in the effects of Elois Humble of Lamont, CA. Possibility that it belongs to the family of Elois's step-father, Corwin Walker born 1891 and died 1966 Ventura, CA. Corwin was the 2nd husband of Elois's mother, Atha E. Turner. Another possibility is that it belongs to the family of Elois's 2nd husband, Ray Buchwitz. The signature on the photo reads, ' To Little Maxine From Aunt Opal '. The photographer stamp reads, ' Austin L.A. ', possible that Austin is the name of the studio, and L.A. means Los Angeles, but can't say for sure.
