Garden Glow: Momo & Poppo 1928

From the Ransohoff Collection (Can 1-4, 1928), this silent amateur film segment, "A Morning in the Garden with Momo and Poppo 1928", captures a tender family moment in San Francisco’s East Bay. Filmed in spring 1928, it shows grandparents Momo and Poppo—likely Michel and Flora Ransohoff—tending a lush garden with blooming roses and oaks, alongside their grandchildren. A gentle breeze rustles the greenery as the camera pans across this serene retreat, a snapshot of 1920s domestic bliss preserved by the department store family’s lens.
