Born in August, 1899, Dorothy Tucker was a constant photographic subject for her father, then a high school physics teacher at Curtis High School on Staten Island in New York state. Here, Dorothy leans over a boulder while placing her fingers in a stream in the woods. A clutch of ferns she had gathered can be seen resting on the boulder in foreground.
