The Christmas cards printed from this scanned negative were hand colored by my mother. The photo which I think my face was cut from is undated, but another taken at the same location and time is dated August 4, 1944. It appears to have been taken at the summer cottage on Otis Reservoir. I'm about a year and a half old.

The card is also undated, but was probably used for Christmas 1944, and possibly in later years. The wreaths on the actual cards were hand colored. I'll try to scan one and add it here.
