Help us learn more about these photographs! These portraits were made by Elsa Rosenthal, who owned and operated a salvage store called Artifacts in Rosemont, Virginia during the late 1970s and early 1980s. We're looking to identify people in the images and also looking for any stories or memories about any of the people pictured here or about the store itself. Check out an image of Elsa then and now below!

If you recognize anyone here or have memories to share, please email studio@susanmeiselas.com. If possible please reference the specific image(s) you are sharing about -- image numbers can be found below each photo.
