Portrait of Myrtle Johnson and Anna Luster

Title

Portrait of Myrtle Johnson and Anna Luster

Description

Circular photograph portrait of two women leaning against each other, with white lace shawls over their hair. A handwritten note on the back identifies them as Myrtle Johnson and Anna Luster, and states that the picture was taken on April 5, 1890.

Myrtle Johnson was a student at Tualatin Academy in Forest Grove in 1892. A surviving letter to Pacific University President Thomas McClelland shows that she requested a school catalogue for her friend, Anna Luster, that same year. However, Luster does not appear to have attended Pacific University or Tualatin Academy.
