Precocious Child

From the steamer trunk.

This tiny child — not much more than a baby — can not only balance atop a chair but also (according to handwritten notes on the back) "talk plainly."

Which makes me feel pretty stupid by comparison, since I have utterly failed to identify the child or the names written on the photo.

The name on the front is "John H.C. [or maybe G?] Griffin." The name on the back is harder to decipher.

I believe it says:
Kittie Clement
Vevay
Gave this picture
Could talk plainly
when taken.
