Uncle Stewart’s Baptism Bear

My uncle, Stewart George Donald, was born on 4 February 1923 and was baptised on 15 April. This photo was probably taken on that day. Stewart is sitting on the knee of his aunt, Violet Donaldson. Next to him are his sisters Frances and Violet. Stewart is holding a teddy bear that was given to him by the minister.

I have this teddy bear now. It is in pristine condition, as if new. Apparently it was taken off Stewart and put away after the photograph was taken, and he was never allowed to play with it.
