Description
A studio portrait of Lucretia del Valle, ca. 1910s. Del Valle's hair is braided and she is wearing what appears to be a silk taffeta dress with a floral pattern, along with a fringed shawl. She is also holding a Chinese fan. This black and white portrait photograph was previously stored in a program for the Mission Play, ca. 1927 (Object ID: 2022.3.2.8). The photograph was likely taken between 1913 and 1917, when Del Valle played the role of Senora Yorba in The Mission Play, as she is wearing her costume for the aforementioned character. A reproduction of this photograph is also present in the HM collection (Object ID: 2002.28.1.6). With minor cracking, minor puncture marks, minor foxing, and minor stains/discoloration, the object is in good condition overall.
