Two children, one identified as Doris Price by the homemade name tag affixed to her Brick Church School uniform, and the other one of children in Maier's care during her time as an NYC nanny pose for the photographer in a local park. Maier often asked the children in her lives to pose for her, and by the look on the young boy's face, he was tired of the request.

A rare vintage print with great charm.
