The lady appears elegantly dressed with a mantilla and fan. In addition to the backdrops, the lighting, the sweetness of the portrayed woman, etc., it is worth noting that the photographic retouching was done by Venancio's wife, **Francisca Guerra**, a photographer, painter, and one of the best retouchers of her time.
Francisca continued to improve the photographs of her children, Amalio and Guzmán, who continued the business, until her death in 1939.

 by restorer Isabel Pantaleón Rodríguez, is in perfect condition without losing, at the same time, an iota of the charm that the passage of time bestows.
The Alavese company Elma was founded in 1924 and continues to be active a hundred years later.
In old grocery stores or general stores, most products were sold in bulk; oil, legumes, coffee, etc. This model was used to manually grind large quantities of coffee and serve them to customers.
We appreciate the generosity of **María Nuria Sánchez Vicente** for donating this wonderful piece, to which the restoration has given the balance and appearance it deserves.
