InscribedOn verso of photograph, in pencil, illegible name (and place?); lower right, in pencil, accession number.On verso of mount, lower right, in pencil, accession number.NotesSubject Note: The donor believed that the photograph was a portrait of the author Winifred Welles (1893-1939), who was a friend of his mother, Rachel Thayer Knott. An inscription on the back of the photograph appears to be a name, however, and although it is illegible, it is not "Winifred Welles." (Finlay 5/14/2007)
