{"value"=>"<p>This series features a group of twenty-four black and white photographs taken of libraries in rural France (1921-1922). These prints document the activities of the Committee for Devastated France, founded by Anne Morgan, daughter of J. Pierpont Morgan. Moore was a member of the Committee and visited the libraries in 1922. There are three candid group photographs from the ALA meeting of 1908. There is one photograph of Moore as a young librarian and portraits from later in her career. This includes a photograph taken when she received an honorary degree from Pratt Institute in 1955.</p> <p>Five photographs of Beatrix Potter are included: at six years of age posed with her cousin Alice; at nine years of age; and two as an older woman. A postcard of a photographed portrait of Potter painted by D. Banner in 1938 is included. Six photographs of Marie Shedlock are in the collection, including a formal portrait of her in costume.</p> <p>There are five unidentified photographs in the series.</p>"}
