of Esperanza, from 1918. A portrait of Eileen Creevey Hall* partaking of a common activity here. Still common, even if a fair bit of the reading occurs in virtual libraries here and there!
I am not sure who Corey Ford was, aside from being confident enough to sketch in the guestbook. I like the sketches, I wish more of the visitors had done so.
Eileen and the artist clearly had a difference of opinion on whether it was or was not a portrayal, she was eight at the time.

Corey Ford was an author and humorist, born in 1902 (I checked) and therefor not a friend of WWE but just 8 years older than Eileen – about Carlotta’s age.
Good to know, I hadn’t had a chance to look him up. That makes a lot of sense given the appended notation and style thereof.
