This photo is of Arturo Benito Brugman Cardona and Paulina Puig, his second wife, with Arturo's sons from his first marriage to Carolina Marini Bestlz. It is unknown who the child in the white dress is. Arturo and Paulina's first child has been known to be Gerardo and doumentation supports this. However, the child in this photo seems to be a girl so it could be Rosa Vicenta, but then where was Gerardo when this photo was taken? Or maybe Rosa was the first born. Or maybe it is Gerardo in a baptismal gown. Or maybe it is one of the deceased Brugman Marini children... (c. 1907)
