Miss Mitchell envelope Bond Drive 1952. The following was added to the envelope description after GSU acquired the photographs: [Residences of Margaret Mitchell, (c) 17th Street and West Peachtree Street; (d) Eugene Mitchell home?, Jackson Street]. --- The 1952 Lane Brothers Assignment book describes the original commission (p. 217): "Steve Mitchell [i.e. Stephens Mitchell] . 1 photo of his house 1401 Peachtree; 1 photo interior of house; 1 duplicate." Dan Lane was the photographer. The same day (May 22), Stephens Mitchell commissioned "3 photos of building [in] East Point," which W.C. Lane, Jr., photographed (1952 Assignment Book, p. 218). On May 26, Stephens Mitchell commissioned "2 photos, Piedmont apartment and 26 Walker Terrace; 1 duplicate." This commissioned was relayed to the Lane Brothers by Mitchell's secretary Margaret Baugh, 1268 Piedmont, and was photographed by Dan Lane (1952 Assignment Book, p. 221). Again on June 3, 1952, there is another commission from Stephens Mitchell: "2 8 x 10 prints of house, 1401 Peachtree house and interior; deliver to Historical Society." (1952 Lane Brothers Assignment Book, p. 234) This commission would have been for prints of the photos taken on May 22.
