Scrapbook - Tiny Photos

Looking through Arta's scrapbook, I was struck by the number of "tiny" photos.  They reminded me of the tiny photos I saw in Doral Pilling's "box of precious photos". 

I really hadn't seen this 'film strip' style of tiny photos before. I was used to seeing this with 'negatives', but not in print form.  Cool.

 

I found that I could actually 'see' the photos better if I used my camera to get a closeup. And so, here are some closeups of these tiny photos.  I presume they are Arta.

There were more tiny pictures on another page, this time referring to Arta's 8th birthday, and capturing tiny photos of new dolls! 

Here is a further closeup of the bottom right, telling us we are in March 1948.

I am not sure who "Lorna" is in these photos. Is she one of the Reid children?  Or a Scoville relative?   I finally ask Wyona if she knows. She does.  She recognizes the girl in the photo as Arta's good Lorna Hughes.  Lorna lived in a big house on a steep hill on15th st south of 11th avenue.  Wyona says that the house is still there.  

Arta has Wyona and Bonnie on either side of her.  I am not sure who the boy is (I would expect it to be Earl, but he doesn't look like Earl to me in this photo). 

I like how Arta's doll in these photos matches her hair (dark), while it looks like both Lorna and her doll are blonde.
