Another photo of Ruthie Moore posing with the hydrangea wearing one of her outfits in Oriental Gardens. As stated in a previous post she shows up in a number of Loyd Sandgren’s photographs from the early 1950’s when she was in her teens.

This is one of hundreds of contact sheets in the Loyd Sandgren Collection. No information on the identity of the […]
