[INDOLOGY] Query regarding a photograph

[Ananya Vajpeyi]

Dear List Members,

Attached is a photograph that is kept in Room A of Widener Library, at
Harvard. This is a room with Sanskrit materials:

https://sas.fas.harvard.edu/sanskrit-library-widener-library-room-a/

We know nothing about this photo -- who took it, why, when, where --
nothing. Just that a piece of paper used to line the frame is newsprint
from The Boston Traveler, Saturday, May 22, 1897.

I realize many of you would have used Room A and have probably seen this
photo at some point.

Any information about it that you might have would be very helpful, thanks!

Best,

Ananya.
