Description
Half-length informal snapshot Ivan Pavlov at the edge of a larger group of delegates at Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA. Pavlov was attending the 13th International Physiological Congress, 19-23 August 1929.
The image is inscribed in ink, verso: ‘Harvard 1929 Pavlov’. From a collection of snapshots taken by Mary Pickford, mainly on board the S.S. Minnekahda, captioned and donated by her. Backed with cardboard.
