Photograph, woman standing by a tree, 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. The Bass Biological Laboratory was a fully functioning research laboratory as well as a biological collecting and field station. The lab was located in Englewood, Florida, and operated during the 1930s and 1940s. Also included in these photographs are rare images of local workers, friends of the Bass family, and visitors to the area. The woman holding an air plant or Epiphytic lichen, in this picture, may be Ellen Jensen, Else Bass' mother.
