This collection includes approximately 40,000 photographs by commercial photographer Ralph Morris, who worked in the Los Angeles area from 1939-1981. His advertising and industrial clients included department stores, restaurants, the automobile and petroleum industries as well as business executives. Also included is the Luckhaus Studio collection of architecture, fashion, the movie industry, sports and street scenes, images which Morris obtained in 1939. Three women pose for the camera during a fashion show at an unidentified location, possibly a restaurant. The woman on the left is dressed completely in black and wears a crushed velvet hat, the woman in the middle wears an Asian-inspired hibiscus and leaf print dress, and the woman on the right has the same hibiscus and leaf print dress, but in a different color and style as the previous woman.
