PHOTOGRAPH: ELSA LIPFERT AND FRIEND

« Prev Item Next Item »

Park Photos Perth

Overview

The black and white photograph features Elsa Lipfert and friend in casual clothing outdoors on a bitumen road. Elsa wearing a floral sleeveless top and a short skirt and sandals, is on a stationary bicycle held steady by a friend wearing a floral dress. A jacket is draped over the handlebars. The friend is wearing white lace-up shoes with wedge heels and white ankle socks. She is wearing a white necklace and a white bracelet on her right wrist. There are trees in the background (could be Rottnest Island). The photo is pasted onto a brown cardboard 'frame' with a two borderlines design to create this illusion. The red sticker of Parks Photos Perth is in the lower right hand corner. From the Lipfert home at 270 York Street, Subiaco
