We need to acknowledge the contribution of Mary Pharo Meldon in making this project possible. Not only had she saved copies of
The Blue Room Belch, but she had preserved pictures of many of those mentioned in the paper. Some of her pictures, although not directly related to the stories in
The Belch, were just too precious not to include. Enjoy.
