What: A woman and a man lounging with each other
When: circa 1906
Who: John Storrs (right) and unidentified woman (left)
Help us solve the mystery: Who is the woman lounging with John Storrs? Hint: We think it could be Roxie S. Stinson. Could anyone confirm this?
John Storrs and Grace [no last name found], circa 1906.
What: A woman and a man lounging with each other, smoking
When: circa 1906
Who: John Storrs (right) and his girlfriend at the time, Grace (left)
Several photos of this same woman appear in a photo album and some loose photos in the John Storrs papers, dating around 1905-1906, but no photos of her in later years. On one of the photographs is a handwritten message reading “Toujours a vous. Grace. 1906,” [translation: Always yours, Grace, 1906] and en verso it reads “girl friend of JS.”
