Inscriptions and Marks inscription: verso, blue writing ink, hand written: note on provenance: Given to / A Dora Scott / by Timothy Cole / 1885 Provenance Recorded Ownership History Anna Dorothea Scott, Italy?, gift from the artist, 1885, gift or bequest to her second daughter. Scott was the great-grandmother of the donor. Scott's brother Will (presumably William Scott), who was crippled by polio, was apprenticed to Cole to learn a trade. Scott was about twenty-two years old in 1885, the date of gift written on the reverse of the print, and Cole was in Italy at that time. According to the donor, Scott's parents were born in Europe, and they were well off, if not rich, and so a trip to Italy for a twenty-two year old is not improbable. Anna Dorothea Scott married James Craigen Bruce in 1891, becoming A. Dora Bruce. Naomi Bruce, gift or bequest from her mother, gift or bequest to her grand-niece, donor of pri. Craigen Bowen, gift or bequest from great-aunt Naomi Bruce, gift to the Harvard University Art Museums, 2002.
