Luellen Penzo Weiss; 1954
Nurse
In this black-and-white portrait photo, a nurse is captured in a classic, vintage style, wearing a traditional white nurse's uniform and cap, emblematic of mid-20th-century medical attire, with her dark, neatly styled wavy hair and a composed, professional expression that reflects the respected and caring role nurses embody within healthcare; the nurse's uniform is complete with a small pin on her chest.
