Black and white photograph 2 3/4in x 2 3/4in. Reverse inscription: “240”; “X mas presents”; “R A Dillon” stamp in blue ink. Four people (including Electa and Irving Johnson) stand in Yankee’s galley watching one of the Johnson children opening presents. The table in the foreground is covered in wrapped presents. The inventory number (240) suggests this photograph was taken somewhere in the Galapagos Islands, 25 December 1939.
