Vade Retro, Earth Girl

Yemenite Jews in Tel Aviv, 1931.

I just lucked into a few dozen photographs from 1931-1933, taken by an American woman who was involved with the Pioneer Women’s Organization (a labor Zionist group), and immigrated to Palestine in 1932. 

This is an excursion to Egypt from their base in Hadera, 1932. 

You’re a baby! (circa 1900-1905)

Wedding, late 30s to mid-1940s. Most likely Chuckatuck, VA.

This is my great-great-aunt Matsie, born in 1917 - she was absolutely wonderful, and I love this picture of her.

Lake Chautauqua, NY, August 1968

Brothers, WWI-era. 

This seems like the happiest Edwardian summer day ever had. 

All of these Edwardian photos are from work, and are of one family, from around 1916-1922.

Ice cream - 1918

Some fierce 1910s fashionistas followed by some scandalous merriment in the park (I know the second photo is not particularly easy to see - some guy is lifting up the skirt of the woman from the first photo who was wearing the fur-trimmed ensemble).

Like mother, like daughter (grumpy).

1940s.
