This photograph was taken in c.1903 before Mysie's marriage to Arthur Pope. The photograph, one of two, was in the collection of photographer, Henry L. Rand,, but not taken by him. This indicates to archivists familiar with his life that Mysie was a friend. The unknown photographer of the portraits, someone named McCormick, may have been a fellow amateur photographer. Mysie's biography is interesting as it illustrates both the later life of this young girl and the social life in Cambridge of which Rand was a part.
