The craftsmanship of the composite babies at the top of this page indicates a practiced hand. Of the three pieces of photographs used for the composite, both the smallest bonneted baby and the main subject were cut and fitted BEFORE gluing to the page. The other bonneted baby is an overlay but all three images and their fitting predate the graphic appliqués. This provides good credence to the supposition that the teenager responsible for the graphics on this and the other pages of the album did NOT apply the photo cameos on the Leigh page. Likewise, the baby composite is too sophisticated to be the work of this particular teenager who was mostly content to cut and glue panels like the two shown here. On the other hand, the crazy foreshortening of a miniature baby angling out of the body of a giant Baby Huey may be too wild for an attribution to H. P. Robinson unless it were an experiment of his. My take is that the original photos were shot by Robinson, but that the composite was made by Dr. Diamond who was always trying out new photographic processes and procedures.
The obverse of the lower graphic is printed with a legal item about the contesting of a mid-1880's will and it covers over evidence of a photograph that disappeared long ago.
