Place of origin

Black and white phtographic postcard of four children in a garden. A toddler in a white dress sits at centre, on a cusion on a wooden chair. To the left is a small boy, with blonde curls, wearing a buttoned up sailor style jacket and short trousers. An older boy next to him has an open sailor jacket, and his hair appears to be shaved apart from the fringe. A girl, wearing a drop-waisted dress with white sash belt, stands on the right hand side of the photograph, looking down at the youngest child. They are aligned in a semi-formal manner on a garden path, with a floral border and a wooden fence behind them.
