New Photograph of Harriet Wolf with Unidentified Man Donated by the Isley Wesler Museum of Antiquities




The Isley Wesler Museum of Antiquities has also donated this photograph to The Harriet Wolf Society's collection. In this photograph, Wolf is perhaps in her late-twenties or early thirties. The man she is stand next to is unidentified, her relationship with him unknown. Some experts believe that the two are holding hands. Others have suggested that they are not holding hands but the unnecessary closeness of their bodies suggests intimacy. [The Wolf family has not identified the man in this photograph and refuses to comment.]

The photograph was taken on the grounds of Isley Wesler's home, which he made into a museum in his later years. The house is now private though it remains in the Wesler family and is situated outside of Baltimore.

Wesler himself was known, at this time, for his involvement in organized crime as well as his interaction with certain members of the Communist Party and some brushes with high society.
