Photo: color, Boy and Girl, 1982

From box 2010.3.6 (origin: California, U.S.)

Item #756

Sku #2010.3.6.756

The original photo is not for sale. It appears to be a brother and sister in the the tub. Sadly, considering the state of the world we live in, this perfectly innocent photo - a moment captured by almost every parent in the country - has been edited very, very badly. It will not be available for sale under any circumstances and is listed here only because identifying the kids might help in the identification of other photos in the same box. For the first time, I've made the decision to destroy an item immediately after posting info about it. It's a really sad state of affairs that I'm actually afraid to own this photo. I'm sorry about that, blame the pervs.

5" x 3 1/2" color photo. Unidentified boy and girl, dated June 1982 on the back. This is the date of the print, not necessarily the date of the photo.

Potential information: This information may serve as clues to help identify the era of the photo, the people in the photo, the place where the photo was taken, or even the photo studio where it was developed. It also may not serve those purposes. The first, and often biggest, clue we have is the box number. A search for that box number will turn up all the items that where found together, which will often lead to connections we couldn't make with just one item. If you have anything you'd like to add, you can do so in the Comments.

Surroundings: No clues for me here. This ID is going to come down to someone recognizing the kids. The original contained no clues, either. White oval tub. Wall-mounted soap dish with bar for washcloth. Dial soap! Row of cream colored tiles below a thing ribbon of wallpaper (I think) in a cream, blue, and brown pattern. Jeans hanging in the background. Boy is holding a back brush. I have clipped out the kids and left the surroundings, in case they're any use to anyone.

The people: It is a logical assumption that the kids are siblings and I'm only guessing that the second child is a girl because her hair is pinned up.

The photo itself: Color. Back marked "JUN. 1982".
