An old photo from the 1910s or 1920s or so that was found in San Juan Bautista, California. There is no writing on the back other than “Free” written by the antique dealer. It was found in the same bin as the last post, so it’s up after the prior just in case there’s any family relation. But it’s a beautiful moment:  a close-up view of a dark-haired young mom, in checked long-sleeved blouse (rather full at the shoulders) and a darker calico-patterned apron. She’s holding her blonde-haired young son or daughter, some number of months old, along with the baby’s rattle.

Old photograph, unidentified. Circa 1900 – 1920s.    Size:  About 3 and 1/4 x 2″
