Year Published: 19521953

Sound: silent

Description: This silent home movie from an unknown Fort Worth family captures moments big and small from baby Alyson in 1952 and 1953. The family first dresses for Alyson’s christening. With some helping hands, she learns to walk. She toddles around the house and explores lunch with her fingers. Alyson reunites with relatives at a family gathering, and accompanies mom and dad on a trip to Galveston. There she visits the pier, splashes in the shallows, and plays in the sand. Climbing into their new Chevy Bel Air convertible, this unidentified family looks right out of a glossy magazine ad.
