Book 2, Page 174 ·1940
Transcription
A tall black-and-white photograph of an infant propped upright in a baby carriage, wearing a long-sleeved white gown. He has wisps of dark hair, dark eyes, and an alert open-mouthed expression turned slightly to one side. The hood of the pram and trees rise behind him; the chrome handle bar of the carriage in the foreground reflects a small dark figure – presumably the photographer.
Pencil caption beneath the print, in two lines:
Robert Lawrence Corbell 3rd – Born Jan. 1940 – St. Lukes Hospital – Richmond. Va.
