Margarita Riva

The image of this little girl, named Margarita Riva, was taken by the Casasola Photograph Studio in 1938. Apart from her name, the girl's identity is unknown. Alfonso Casasola, a member of a famous family of Mexican photographers, came to El Paso in the 1920s after several years in the Mexican consular service. He established the Casasola Studio (also known by its Spanish name, Estudio Casasola) at 511 S. El Paso Street and was active in many civic organizations. He died on February 17, 1948 at the age of 59, but his wife, Emma Flores Casasola, continued the studio for many years. They took pictures of many ordinary El Pasoans.
