Photograph: two young boys with a dog in a yard, ca. 1960s

A single faded color snapshot mounted on an otherwise blank album page. Two small boys stand side by side on a patchy lawn before a hedge of yellow forsythia in early bloom. The boy at the left wears a dark blue T-shirt, light jeans, and dark shoes; the boy at the right wears a green-and-yellow striped T-shirt, dark pants, and light shoes. A small black dog sits at the feet of the left-hand boy. Beyond the forsythia, leafless trees and the corner of a frame house are just visible at the upper center. The photograph has the faded magenta cast characteristic of early-1960s color prints. No caption or date is written on the page. The boys are unidentified but are likely Walker or Allston grandchildren of the compiler’s generation.
