Happy Photo

Many photos of older generations were formal and people didn't often smile.

Here is a happy photo of Phoebe Levy Cerf (wife of Aaron Cerf) and her half-sister, Victoire Levy Levy (she married Leon Levy). Victoire is the last child of the shared father, Leopold Libmann Levy.

Victoire and her husband didn't have any children, but she became a favorite of all her nieces and nephews who affectionately called her Auntie Vic.

There's a lot of tenderness in this photo. We can see the affection between the half-sisters.

Another photo is of the half-sisters with one of Phoebe's daughters, Clotilde, all wearing fancy hats.
