This vintage black and white photograph showcases a pretty woman in a California mid-century modern kitchen. The woman is wearing an apron and is standing at the sink washing dishes. The window is open beside her. Elsewhere, we see an electric cooktop and an open cabinet door that reveals the clean dishes inside. The image measures 2.5 x 3.5 inches and is an original print from 1946.
On the back, she is ID'ed as Jane Desmond Grover, "In Madera just after WWII, 1946?" A quick check online genealogy databases verifies that a Jane Desmond was born in 1917 in Madera County, California. She was born in Madera and lived her whole life in California until she passed in 2006.
