Description
Kay Willmott (right) holds infant Richard Curtis (b 1930-03-19) and an unidentified Chinese woman (left) holds an infant that is probably Shirley Jane Endicott (b 1930-04-19). The two are seated in wicker chairs in front of the steps leading to the Endicott's porch. A group of four people are standing on the porch.
Commentary
Since the young Chinese woman wears a silk brocade qipao and has bobbed hair, she is likely not an "amah" or nanny, but rather an educated friend or colleague.
