Why are we so fascinated by old photographs? How do these fragile shadows of light survive? Who are these strangers looking at us so intently across 75 years?

These are just some of the questions raised by this wonderful collection of portraits safely preserved in MS 497 Vera Prasilova Scott's photos in the Woodson Research Center.

Vera Prasilova Scott was a young woman born in 1899 in Bohemia. She arrived in Houston in 1926 with her husband, Arthur Scott. He was a new chemistry professor at Rice Institute; she was an artist, trained in Prague and Munich, highly skilled in the latest techniques and styles of European art photography.

She opened a studio and for ten years made exquisitely lighted and frequently emotionally charged portraits of Houston society.
