Photograph, group of people on a beach, c.1932-1933: Bass personal papers

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 a group of men and women with two children on a beach. In the foreground, the third from the left is Maud and the child in front is most likely John Bass III (Johnny). The child on the far right has been referred to as "Bille." Family letters mention a young cousin called Bitten, or Bitte, but the identity of the younger child in this photo remains unclear.
