portrait of mom by almost famous Chicago photographer
Lionel Heymann retired in 1964 after 40 years of photographic work. Mom probably had this made while he was at the Blackstone Hotel studio in Chicago. After a little online research I found out that Lionel was an accomplished art photographer (including nudes and architecture) plus an educator... although he claimed to be a waiter on government forms. His art work is still sold today through auction houses.
He found a pretty model here!
