Description
Portrait of Susan Penoria. Penoria included this photograph with her letter to Carl Eichenlaub dated November 29, 1949. Penoria stands in the middle of an elegant foyer, dawned with checkered floor tiles and a curved wooden staircase. Her neat presentation in her schoolteacher’s uniform stands in stark contrast to the conditions she describes, of a Philippines devastated by WWII.
