The photo is of my grandmother, Helen, holding my mother, Marianna, just after her first birthday. They were visiting Helen's sister Elise in Huron, South Dakota, during the summer of 1918. I don't know when the curl was clipped - the note card isn't dates, and Marianna's hair looks awfully short - but the small envelope holding the card was in with the other letters (on right page). The curl and bow are sewn to the card.
I edited the photo using techniques from Katherine Weaver's wonderful class on photo restoration.
Oops - I just noticed a typo in Mother's name, under the picture. Have to fix that!
