The Jemster At The Tender Age Of Sixteen.


I don't know if Ross Studios still exist but this is a great example of the work they did. This was almost a coming of age ritual in those day. To have a photo done by this studio ( Can't remember where it was, I think Meath Street) was a like a jewish bar mitzvah in that you became an adult because these people did not take photos of youngsters.
This was during the peak of Elvis' popularity , hence the quiff.
