Caption: Earl and Mummsy
Identifier: WFC_108
Description: Margaret Thom Willmott and Leslie Earl Willmott pose for a formal portrait in a studio. Margaret is seated on a wooden chair with elaborate carving. She wears a fashionable dress with tiers of black lace over a light-colored undergown with a chocker-style pearl necklace with jeweled drop. Her expression is mildly smiling. Earl wears a breached white linen sailor suit with tall black socks and leather boots. His head is slightly cocked away from his mother, perhaps a foreshadow of the unconventional personality of his grown up self.
Commentary: The exact date is not known, but Earl appears to be about 6 years old and he was born Dec. 31st, 1985.
