Frances Hooper was a journalist and advertising executive who collected both books and art. Hooper's collections included photographs by Tina Modotti, as well as books, manuscripts, and drawings by Carl Linnaeus, George Cruikshank, Kate Greenaway, Lewis Carroll, Virginia Woolf, Selma Lagerlof, and Emily and Anne Bronte. Hooper donated her collections to multiple institutions. Her Kate Greenaway collection was given to the Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation. Her Linnaeus materials were donated to the Chicago Horticulture Society, and the bulk of her Virginia Woolf materials went to Smith College. Five photographs by Italian photographer and student of Frederick Weston, Tina Modotti remain with Hooper’s papers. |
