DescriptionView of Hannah Latimer Cheney, age 2, with her nurse, Polly Cullen. Polly is sitting, with her legs curled up next to her, on a window seat. Hannah is standing on the cushion to her right, with one arm wrapped around Polly's neck. There is a pillow to the right of them and a portrait of a woman hanging on the wall above it. There is a large window behind them and the edge of a curatin is visible behind them to the right.
NotesDate note: Inscription on verso says 1914.Context note: The Cheney family lived in Manchester and E. M. Ogden was a Manchester photographer, so this picture was probably taken in Manchester, Connecticut.
