Transcription
A small black-and-white photograph at the upper left of the album page: an infant lying on its back on a light surface (cradle or blanket), in a long gown or wrap, with a small framed object near the baby’s head.
Captioned in pencil to the left of the photograph in the compiler’s hand:
Robert L. Corbell Jr.
AI Notes
A lined-paper album page mounted with one small black-and-white photograph at the upper left and a much larger empty paper backing (or mounting paper) below it, where a second photograph appears to have been removed. The small surviving photo shows an infant lying on a light surface, swaddled or in a long christening-style gown, with what appears to be a small framed picture or item just behind the baby’s head. The image is captioned in pencil to its left in the compiler’s hand: ‘Robert L. Corbell Jr.’ The larger missing photograph is unidentified. The surname is ‘Corbell’ (the double-l is clear in the cursive caption; matches the surname on page 183’s newspaper clipping).
A second, much larger photograph appears to have been mounted on the lower half of the page and subsequently removed; only the buff-coloured mounting paper remains. The lower-right corner of the original print outline is faintly visible.
