Lucy Stevenson's Doll

I bought this Panda (from an antique dealer) together with a camera, an old photo album and two pictures of the previous owner, a child called "Lucy". The black and white shot was taken by Lucy's mum using a Brownie Kodak. There was no date written but it was probably taken in 1960s. The family name Stevenson was written on the envelope where the pictures were kept.

Lucy was at that time 18 months old and at the back of one picture the mother wrote:

She is a big girl in high heels.

Just to show you how she is growing. She's bold as brass but really a little pet. You can see how she has lost her lolly legs.

Lucy was holding her Panda and she was wearing her mum's high heeled shoes! She was also carrying a Paddington Bear's tiny suitcase, what a beauty! The pictures were maybe sent to her grandparents but by now Lucy herself might be a grandmother.

The camera is a Kodak Brownie Six-20 Camera, Model E with Flash Contacts, made in England around 1950s.
