This album was likely created by a dedicated parent wanting to capture every aspect of their cheerful toddler's first years.
The album depicts a smiley baby from about 1 to 3 years of age. Although most of the shots depict the child starting to walk,
playing with animals, riding a miniscule bike and sitting atop cars, there are a few images of note. Three photos depict a
group of women wearing facemasks. There are also 4 photos depicting a parade with elephants, camels and an ornate carriage,
and 3 photos depicting an early 20th century propeller airplane.
