Abstract:
This item is part of a series of photographs donated by the Bass family. The photographs include images from 1931 through 1933 as the Bass property was being developed. These images provide a valuable look at the Bass property as the buildings and structures went up that would become the Bass Biological Laboratory. Also included in these photographs are rare images of local workers, friends of the Bass family, and visitors to the area. This image features seven women and three men. The man on the far right of the image laying down in the foreground is John F. Bass Jr., and the woman wearing the grass skirt in the center right is most likely Else Bass. The man in the back on the far right is most likely Claude B. Hazen, or 'Bob.'
