The photograph was taken in Sydney when John Black was about six months of age. John was the son of Constantinos and Efstathia Mavrokefalos (Black).
The cross wore around John's neck is most likely his baptism cross. It is traditional in the Greek baptism for the godparent to gift the godchild a cross which is worn following the baptism.
