Gloria Sutter of Shanghai

Posted: November 10th, 2016 | No Comments »

So this is Gloria Sutter of Shanghai in the summer of 1937, her picture taken shortly before the bomb attacks on the city that August 14th. I’m afraid I have not been able to track her down at all. I don’t know where she was from, how she got to Shanghai, what she was doing there or what happened to her later. There’s just this portrait of her in a bathing suit, applying lipstick and posing.
