Antique Girl Photo: Concepcion Cuenco of Cebu

The girl in the mid­dle is my moth­er, Con­cep­cion Cuen­co. This pho­to was tak­en cir­ca 1920.I love the stock­ings, hat, bow, flow­ers, the flap­per-style dress­es, and that fuzzy nude in the back­ground. I’m assum­ing the girls beside her are her sis­ters: Lour­des Cuen­co the big­ger girl, and Con­sue­lo Cuen­co the lit­tle one. They were chil­dren of the politi­cian Mar­i­ano Jesus Cuen­co and Filom­e­na Alesna from Car­car. They lived on Colon Street in then trendy Par­i­an dis­trict of Cebu.
