Description
The image shows an open journal with two pages visible, each containing a black-and-white photograph. The left page features an image of a child riding a small horse or pony. The child is wearing a hat and a light-colored outfit, and the background includes trees and dirt. Above the image, the text "SEPT. 1958" is printed. The right page has a photograph of a young girl sitting on a porch step, wearing a white shirt and a patterned skirt. She has her hair in pigtails with ribbons, and there's a door with visible wooden slats behind her. Both photos have scalloped edges and are set against a background of blank lines on the journal pages. At the bottom of each page, the text "Christian Lacroix" is printed.
