Photos at MFO[edit]

There are two photos in the MFO collection, viz. https://opc.mfo.de/detail?photo_id=2899 (undated) and https://opc.mfo.de/detail?photo_id=5647 (1974). While both are annotated "Mitchell, Josephine", I think they resemble the portrait File:Joan_Laverne_Mitchell.jpg of Joan L. Mitchell shown in the article. - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 11:07, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
