The hairstyle is the most definitive dating marker, representing the peak of the 'Victory Roll' and pompadour styles popular during and immediately after WWII. The studio signature 'James Carr Hollywood' refers to a known studio in Hollywood, Florida, a common hub for the Sephardic community in the Miami area. The star-patterned blouse may also reflect wartime patriotic motifs.
