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:

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.
