To Houghton
Mifflin?, Notes on backs of photographs [prob. in
connection with work on Autograph Edition]
1937 or 1938
; Harvard
Approves photo in striped front with open collar and hat with flowers, though it makes her
complexion look like a Negro's. May approve 1920 passport photo and snapshot made in Ville
d'Avray with dog or cat, but they aren't good prints so can't tell. Doesn't like reduction of
photo made by Nicholas Murray in 1924, in ornate
jacket, because all shadows are bleached out. Doesn't like print from photo by Ensminger in 1937 because contrasts of blacks and whites are too
severe. Does not approve the Steichen photo in
middy blouse. [Stout #1389]
