Description

This is a color photograph of Antonia Rose as a toddler, held by her mother, Deborah Rose at Milan Dragway in Milan, Michigan. This location was significant to their family as James Rose, Antonia’s father, was an avid drag racing enthusiast.

Deborah is dressed casually in a navy blue New York Yankees baseball cap, a black shirt with quarter length sleeves, and a collared yellow shirt worn as an outer layer. Her voluminous flip hairstyle frames her face, and she is smiling while looking away from the camera.

Antonia wears a red hooded jacket and a single ponytail secured with a red barrette that is peeking out from underneath the hood . She has a serious expression and is also looking away from the camera.

The background features parked cars that are partially visible and an outdoor setting.

The photograph is in good condition, with minor flaws and bent corners.
