At least according to wikipedia, the date can be narrowed to December 1908 (laid down) to October 1910 (launched) and it's probably well into 1909 at least given the level of construction.

And then I look at the NLI page, which claims 1910...

Sharon Corbet Done - 1910

Some film on Youtube here. Date is 1908-1910. NLI page says 1910.

All I can contribute is the correct spelling. It's Harland and Wolff.

wow. that made me stop and think, and be a little sad

"Titanic Waifs back in Maman's Arms"
From NYTimes dated May 17, 1912. Their mother came over from France to be reunited with the boys.

"Four-year-old Michel and two-year-old Edmond Navratil, the two waifs who were saved from the sinking Titanic and brought to this city under the temporary guardianship of Miss Margaret Hayes, of 304 West Eighty-third Street, another survivor, are waifs no longer. They have a mother now, just like other children of less romantic and adventurous infancy."

Here's bio of their father. Apparently, he'd taken the boys from their mother and was making his way to America. His body was recovered from the ocean:

Interesting. This looks like a case where the title on the negative "Louis & Lola ? - Titanic survivors" is the best choice to reflect the temporary loss of their real names. Will add a note to provide that info and a bit of the circumstances. Same for the 2 related images:

I find any information on Titantic passengers fascinating. It is such a tragic piece of history

...the desperation is coming through this document

tedesco57 Sadly, the following telegrams are even more palpable, reading: 'We have struck iceberg and sinking please tell Captain to come' and 'Women and children in boats cannot last much longer'.

Terse and to the point.
