2014.001.0037Description
Sepia-tone photo of Rose Luongo Navatta posed in studio, Hoboken, no date, circa 1918-1922.
Real photo postcard; 3-3/8" wide x 5-3/8" high; AZO stamp block (two triangles up, 2 down). Photographer: Norman B. Reznicow, Photo Studio, 453 First St., Hoboken, N.J. (inkstamp on reverse). Published funeral (or death) notice taped to back. Unused and unposted.
She died in 1934 at age 34 and since she appears much younger in this photo, likely when she was 18 to 22 years old, the date that this photograph was taken is estimated as 1918-1922.
Text of death / funeral notice:
Navatta - On Sunday, May 20, 1934, Rose Navatta (nee Luongo), aged 34 years, beloved wife of Michael Navatta.
Funeral from her late residence, 523 Jackson St., Hoboken, N.J., on Wednesday morning, May 23, 1934 at 9 o'clock thence to St. Anne's R.C. Church at 10 o'clock. Interment Holy Cross Cemetery. Funeral Directors, M. D'Agostino & Sons.
====
Except for Jim Hans locating photographer Reznicow in a 1918 City Directory, little has come to light about him. While the date range by photo postcard paper type gives a date range up to 1930, a more likely range is 1918 to 1924.
