Bell, Lelia

JUEL ID/KEY: P48743

"Lelia Bell," four photographs by Rufus W. Holsinger taken on August 19, 1918 and December 5, 1918. All four portraits show the same subject; two of the photographs are duplicates (see below).

Additional information about Lelia Bell will be added as it is researched.

NOTE that the name with which the portrait is labelled (or, labelled "untitled") is not necessarily the name of the sitter(s) in the portrait, but rather the name of the person who paid for the portrait when it was taken (the date and name associated with each photograph is from the business ledgers of R. W. Holsinger).
