19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Irene Massazza at 18, 1928, after Sassi
Her informal photo in 1927 was sculptor Sassi's model; she died in the scarlet fever epidemic that year, nearly 19. Fascinated by life, by you, finding much material for wry wit. This is her parents' last image of her. Wasn't she bright, and funny!
