The editors' mother, Dorothy Howland (r), dancing on a picnic table, and sharing an ice cream cone with her younger sister, Virginia. Both women were serious readers; both were strong and bold; and both died of cancer in their 50s, leaving young children behind. Beyond that, they shared little in common besides a deep enthusiasm for living.
The apparent desk and venetian blinds at the bottom of the photo seem evidence of double exposure, a common occurrence in the Howland family photo album. |
