I'm going to have to check. I'm 99% sure my grandma has the exact picture sans hair above her bed. She is 96 and I believe she said it was a gift from her mom when she was about 8.
I remember one of these hair baby pictures on the wall of my room when I was a child. I thought it was quite lovely, not creepy at all. I don’t remember the image of the baby’s face that you’ve shown so it might’ve been a different image, but there was real blonde hair and real fabric which was a quilted pinky satin ‘covering’ the baby in the picture. I don’t recall that I ever thought it was me in the picture. I didn’t really have a sense of who it was. But now that I’ve seen your video and the time frame you’re talking about I imagine this must’ve been done by my mother, or possibly my grandmother, or even my great grandmother. I was born in 1946 and I remember this picture being on the wall until I was about eight when my family moved. My mother was born in 1927 and as you say these are around in the 20s and 30s. I really liked your video it gave me information about something I’ve wondered about quite a bit. In looking around on various sites that sell and antiques, i’ve only seen one picture that had the feel of the time, but I’ve seen a number that were fake as in more modern re-creations. Thank you so much for your video on this and other subjects that interest me.
I found one of these at a garage sale. I looked at ut several times and had to have it. Knowing nothing of it wanted to know more. We were at a conference at the Ohio State Reformatory where several well-known TV celebs saw it sitting in our booth. they all agreed it was "Creepy". LOL The more I learn about it the more interesting it is.

Thanks for another reminder that "the world is so full of a number of things" and diverting my attention to some weird historical crafts!
