Swampy's Florida

A young lady and a baby gator! this 1896 is not an unusual site as tourists visiting Florida saw these little fellows as not much different than a lizard. They would buy them and carry them around in a cigar box. Not sure what happened to them…or the tourist, for that matter…later.
