- RB-SCAN-029
- Date
- Undated
- Digital image
- 2050 × 3200 pixels
- Evidence status
- Ruth identified by her family; probable location inferred from the associated Westerland seaside photographs
- Uncertainty
- The photograph itself has no visible location mark or date. Westerland on Sylt is probable because this print belongs to the seaside group that includes a separately marked Westerland photograph; no precise date is inferred from Ruth’s apparent age.
- Source and provenance
- High-resolution flatbed scan of a family-held photograph. Susan Reichenbach Heyman’s identification and the family naming both identify Ruth; the probable Westerland association comes from the photograph’s place in the family’s seaside cluster.
