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. A model poses on a makeshift runway during a fashion show at an unidentified location, possibly a restaurant. A few women and a man that are sitting next to the runway appear to be taking notes, others can be seen sitting in a booth toward the left, a trio is set up along the rear, and the back of several stylish heads are at the forefront.
