Roy Chapman Andrews (1884-1960) was a naturalist who led expeditions through the Gobi Desert and Mongolia, and later became director of the American Museum of Natural History. He is shown here with this second wife Wilhelmia Christmas Andrews in 1936.

This photo is part of a collection from McBride and Anderson photographers. Born in 1863, Ella McBride began working in the photography field in 1909 when she managed the Edward Curtis Studio. She opened her own studio in 1917 with Wayne Albee. Albee moved to San Diego in 1925, and McBride continued to operate a studio in various Seattle locations. In 1932 she partnered with Richard Anderson; they continued to work together until she retired in 1954 due to her failing eyesight. She died in 1965 at the age of 102.
