An outdoor portrait of a blond toddler, probably a girl aged around 18 months. She is wearing a light dress, dark tights and boots. She is standing between flowers in the foreground and bushes or vines in the background. The girl may be a relative or the child of a friend of William Alonso Clapshaw, the photographer. Clapshaw exposed half of a glass plate negative to create this image. The photograph was probably taken near Gales Creek or Banks in Oregon, possibly in the Hayward area. The other half of the glass plate was used to make a portrait of the Hayward Farm; see image PUA_MS154_007a. Flaws in the photograph are due to dust and deterioration of the emulsion layer on the negative.
A group of girls mostly aged around 4-8 years old, at a party in the vicinity of Forest Grove, Oregon circa 1910-1914, likely in the Hillside neighborhood northwest of town near Gales Creek. This was probably the birthday party of the girl who is sitting on a chair in the center. She is wearing a large bow on her head and a pinned flower or ribbon on her chest. The same girl appears in at least one other image by the same photographer (see image PUA_MS154_005); she may have been the photographer's daughter or niece. The small table behind her appears to hold a birthday cake with candles, a vase of flowers and several other desserts. A woman holding a younger child aged around 2 stands on the right. The house they are standing next to has unpainted siding; an outhouse and another house appear on the hill in behind them.
