Socorro Elena Figueroa

This picture of Socorro Elena Figueroa was taken in 1948 by the Casasola Photograph Studio. The young woman wears a beautiful and elegant dress and holds flowers in her hands. Apart from her name, her identity is unknown. The Casasola Studio was a popular institution, where many El Pasoans went for their picture. 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.
