Series V: Photographs, 1920s-1990s

Series V contains photographs of the Trilling family and friends. Included are photographs of Lionel Trilling's father and grandfather, David Trilling and Israel Cohen, respectively. There are also photographs of James Trilling and group photographs of the entire family. Portraits of Diana Trilling and publicity photographs for her book Mrs. Harris: The Death of the Scarsdale Diet Doctor are also in this series. Diana Trilling's time at Radcliffe College and Camp Lenore during the 1920s is well represented. While the individuals in many of these earlier pictures are not identified, the atmosphere of the time period and the impact these two places had on Diana Trilling is clear in the composition of the pictures.
