Collection Spotlight: Ralph Morrissey Collection

Ralph G. Morrissey, photographer, journalist, and literary critic, managed the book review page of the Nashville Tennessean from 1944 to 1956. During this time, he gathered photographs of the authors and subjects of the books that were reviewed; he took some of the contemporary photographs himself while acquiring others through publishers. The majority of photographs in this exhibit are from Morrissey’s collection.
