The juxtaposition of traditional Rhodesli Sephardic 'kofia' and vest with 1930s-style modern dresses and curled hair strongly indicates the late interwar period. The architecture and cobblestones are characteristic of the Jewish quarter in Rhodes. The deckled edges of the prints were a popular finishing style from the mid-1930s through the 1940s. The 1944 upper limit is dictated by the deportation of the Rhodes community.
