The Pittsburgh Press Photogravure Pictorial Section

Sunday, August 29, 1926

The following photos were scanned from an old yellowing and crumbling "Photogravure Pictorial Section" of
The Pittsburgh (PA) Press (a defunct newspaper), dated August 29, 1926.
Some photos display a "source" and others do not.
When a source is visible it will be notated for that specific picture.

It is not the intent of this website to plagiarize others work nor to lay claim to such.

This is an attempt to salvage remnants of Pittsburgh's past photographic history of people whose family members may have appeared within the photos being presented.

Some viewers of these webpages were children on August 29, 1926, or possibly parents.
I've re-typed the photo captions beneath each photo for viewer clarity. Enjoy!

These art studies made by the Parry Studio, Pittsburgh, portray Sonia, the heroine of the
thrilling love story by that name, now running exclusively in THE PRESS. The portraits are of
Miss Gay SAMPTER, of Pittsburgh, who posed for the illustrations for the story.
