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

The Alava-based company Elma was founded in 1924 and continues to operate a hundred years later.
In old grocery stores or delicatessens, 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.
