Hi Ms. Weik,
I have forwarded your inquiry to archives and special collections a couple of weeks ago and am waiting to hear back from them as to whether or not they have any information or the photo. Traditionally such photos have been kept in archives. Unfortunately, the time period you are talking about predates the existence of this museum and even the period prior to collections committee which predated the museum for several decades. We have very limited records regarding this time period as objects were generally cared for by the departments that held them. To date, I have not run into any records related to this portrait and have not seen it in the museum's collection storage areas. We are in the process of finishing a current inventory and should I find anything that is connected to the photo/portrait, I will let you.
I'm sorry that I don't have any information at this time.
Sincerely,
Maureen Lane
Collections Manager
