Timeless...

Gertrude Hubbard with baby, circa 1855-1859
I'm struck by the timelessness of this photo... Gertrude's expression. Love? Pride? Happiness? Joy in the thought of the moments, days, years ahead?

"And so our mothers and grandmothers have, more often than not anonymously, handed on the creative spark, the seed of the flower they themselves never hoped to see -- or like a sealed letter they could not plainly read." Alice Walker

Yes, I see the lovely expression. What a different time and a different life but the same emotions.
