And your great grandmother is likely in the picture too under the fur blanket. Picture exposures at that time took 30 secs to sometimes minutes. Mothers would need to hold their children still and were often obscurred under blankets.
Always crazy seeing photos of folks you knew as older people in stages of their lives that you never had the chance to see them in.
My own grandma was born in 1925, after she passed away in 2020 and I helped clear her house I found a number of baby albums in her basement. I'd never seen any pics of her as a child and it was so sweet getting to see her as just another child with her whole life ahead of her.
