Photograph, woman and child on river with dock and thatched roof structure, 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. The child in this image is likely John Bass III (Johnny) and the woman may be Ellen Jensen, Else Bass' mother. The location is unknown, possibly a local river such as the Myakka, Manatee, or Peace River.
