From the collection of artist and author Duncan Hannah.

Duncan Hannah was a key figure in the burgeoning New York underground arts scene, befriending Andy Warhol and his superstars, Lou Reed, Allen Ginsberg, Patti Smith, Salvador Dali, and many others. A graduate of the Parsons School of Design, his paintings were exhibited in the influential 1980 Times Square Show alongside work by Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, and several of his paintings are held in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Dorothy Mackaill was one of the leading ladies of silent film, largely due to the strength of her performance in "The Man Who Came Back" (1924), opposite George O'Brien. She was one of the few actors who survived the transition into sound film, and she made several successful films in the early 1930s, before retiring in 1937 to care for her mother.
