Black and white 8mm home movie footage from 1938 in Reading, Pennsylvania, shows a group of female nurses in white gowns and coats walking along a city sidewalk. They stroll past the Hotel Berkshire, their uniforms crisp against the urban backdrop of vintage automobiles and a classic building facade. The nurses carry bags and appear cheerful, some smiling as they move together. The grainy texture and soft focus are characteristic of amateur Super 8 film, capturing a candid moment of mid-century healthcare workers in a nostalgic, archival style.
