AI Notes
Album page with a single large sepia studio portrait of a boy (perhaps seven to ten years old) seated and looking down at an open book or sketchpad in his lap, head turned three-quarters to the camera. He wears a dark belted jacket over a lighter shirt. The print is mounted sideways on the album page (the boy’s head at the left edge). The caption is hand-printed in pencil at the top of the page. The subject is James Pickens Walker Jr. (b. 5 Jan 1912, called ‘Bo’ by the family) — Amy’s eldest surviving child. Only the sitter’s first name ‘PICKENS’ was written; no additional inscription text appears on the page.
