Lost photo



This picture has a history. It was taken in early 1936 when I was 16 years old. My mother had taken me to the studio to get pictures of me in hopes of sending them to a movie studio where they were looking for extras. We never got the pictures because shortly after, the civil war started and every business closed and they raided many of the stores and business shops.
Years later in 1954, my mother went to Spain to visit my grandmother and aunt. They told her that after the war someone found the picture in the gutter of the sidewalk. It had my name and address on the back so they brought it back to my grandmother who still lived there. It took 18 years to get to me
