included are photographic reproductions of some of Lea's paintings, images
associated with the movie production of his book The Brave

The photographs are organized in the order in which they were transferred to the
Photography Collection, and then by images of Lea, his family and friends, and
images associated with his work. Descriptions of images were derived by the
archivist based on inscriptions on print versos.
This file forms a part of the Literary Files photography collection, which is
comprised of photographs and albums withdrawn from the libraries and/or papers
of
literary figures and businesses, and generally include portraits and images taken
or
collected by and/or of those people and businesses.
