Description

Hand colored photo of Bette Jayne Bolles (1916-1987) as toddler, circa 1919. The child is standing in front of a log with a cluster of houses visible across a river or lake in the background. The image is behind an oval, domed glass and framed in a gold frame with applied floral or rococo ornaments. Jack Sheridan said he would "stake his reputation that the background is not in the Saugatuck area" and that the image is more likely from the 1880s or 1890s. He also commented that the background could have been added to a studio image of the child.
