The “family” looks strange.  Perhaps the child arrived in a Wayfair cabinet.

Father's suit is rather ill fitting as well. Hard to tell if he is smiling or not.

Perhaps it is a photo of the Smirk Family

The stamp is upside down and that bothers me.

My sister told me that means "I love you" she used to do that with letters she mailed to me.

Lettice as a name for girls is of Latin origin, and the name Lettice means "joy". Lettice is an alternate form of Letitia (Latin): Latin variant of the name.
