This is a antique photo (cropped from the original) of a little girl named Leona Belle Cook, aged 3. The photographer information is only given as "Taylor". We've seen other photos with "Taylor" in a similar style from Rochester, New York, so perhaps that is where this is from. We found some information on a Leona Belle Cook by doing a simple google search. Assuming it is the same person, she was born in August 1913, and died in November 2007 in Venice, Florida. If those dates are correct, then this photo dates from 1916-17 or there abouts. Based on the type of photo those dates seem about right.
We have another picture of Leona Cook when she is older, looking like in her late teens or early twenties, and she has something of a not quite but almost flapperish hair style.
This is a nice photo, and with the mounting it is fairly large. I like it because it has toys in it - she 's holding on to a wagon with a doll in it. It may have just been a photographer's prop, but it may also have been a favorite toy of a little girl.
