Summary

[edit]
Description

Nettie Stevens. Black-and-white photograph, 35.5 x 28 cm

Restoration notes: Little dust spots everywhere! I've done my best to remove them. Some fading to bottom of oval image, likely from handling; used a very light burn on there. Lots of small patches of staining, both light and dark; that was a pain to fix. It's grainy, but not much you can do about that; that's just cameras at the time.
Date (according to File:Nettie_Stevens.jpg); Bryn Mawr gives it as 1903-1912.
Source TriCollege Libraries Digital Collections Local identifier: PA_00387; PID: bmc:3778. From the Bryn Mawr College Photo Archives.
