Scope and Contents
Photographic prints, glass plate negatives and other equipment and supplies related to professional portraiture by Vera Prasilova Scott, mainly dating from 1926-1937 during her time in Houston close to the Rice Institute. Houston and Rice University-related subjects include the Lovett, Baker, Blaffer, Cullinan, Weiss, Hutcheson, Autrey and Sharp families.
Portraits include adults, children, babies, and a very few landscapes. Many remain unidentified at the time of processing this collection, but as they are identified over time, this guide will be updated.
Of particular note is an Address Book in Box 53 featuring names of Prasilova Scott's photographic subjects which may help in identfying some of the prints.
