Scope and Contents:
Copy of drawing of a fisherman loading fish in a (presumably) icebox. No ink on negative. "Eastman Safety Kodak Film" edge imprint. Found in an envelope marked "Porter Drawings" and therefore attributed to Dr. James A. Porter. However, Ms. Coni Uzelac, daughter of Dr. Porter, suggests that it may be by Allan Freelon instead (e-mail message, 19 November 2008).
