AI Notes
An engraved wedding invitation on cream card stock, mounted at center-right on a lined-paper album page. The invitation is from Mr. and Mrs. James Pickens Walker for the marriage of their daughter Mary Ann Walker to Lt. Oswald Beverley McEwan, U.S. Army, at the Church of the Good Shepherd, Jacksonville, Florida. The year is not engraved on the card, but a small pencilled annotation at the lower left corner of the page reads ‘1941’ in the compiler’s hand. The card uses the engraver’s superscript ‘Mc Ewan’ rendering of the surname (standardised here to ‘McEwan’).
