G. W. Helbling with his son Edgar and their pet rabbits, about 1919 in their backyard in St. Louis, Missouri. The young girl could be his daughter (Anna) May Helbling, who would have been about 8 in 1919, or Viola G. Helbling who would have been about 5 in 1919. Edgar was about 11. (Click to enlarge.)
[Those of us ‘of an age’ will remember cartoons and commercials with ‘rabbit’ pronounced more like it is spelled above; seems like as kids a lot of us said it that way too. And it alliterates better with “Wordless Wednesday.” Sorry.]
