1912 photo of Victoria A. de Arellano, Monterey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico
I recently purchased in San Francisco, CA, the subject studio portrait of a young woman taken by Placido Alatorre, N. L., Mexico.It bears the following inscription on the back of the mount:
"China
Tu prima que mucho
te quiere te dedica esta
mona de ilaclita pero su
corazon palpita y siente
quererte mucho. Guardalo
como un recuerdo
que te
haze tu prima.
Victoria A. de Arellano
Diciembre 24 de 1912
Monterrey N. L."
English translation of the above:
"Porcelain-like
Your cousin that loves you very much
dedicates this
mona de ilaclita[?] but her
heart beats and feels a lot
of love for you.Guard
it as a keepsake that your
cousin made for you.
Victoria A. de Arellano
December 24th 1912
Monterrey N. L."
