AI Reasoning — AI Estimated

The bathing suit styles strongly indicate the late 1920s to early 1930s. Based on the genealogical data, if the child is Leona Fox (born 1921), she appears to be around 8-10 years old, placing the photo around 1929-1931. The absence of younger siblings (born 1930 and 1931) suggests it may be prior to their birth or when they were infants.
