Description: Studio photograph of American poet Ezra Pound (1885–1972) in May 1898 with his mother, Isabel Weston Pound (1860–1948). The collar of his uniform shows the letters C.M.A., Cheltenham Military Academy, Cheltenham Township, Pennsylvania, which Pound attended from 1897 to 1900.
Title: Ezra Pound and Isabel Pound (cropped)
Credit: Harry Ransom Center, University of Texas at Austin. According to the center, on the back of the image it says, in ink, "May 3, 1898". In pencil, in different handwriting, it says below the date: "EP & Mother". In the bottom left corner, also in pencil, it says: "MSpann". "EP & Mother" and "MSpann" appear to be in the same handwriting. MSpann is Marcella Spann Booth, a friend of Pound's from the 1950s. The center acquired the image from her in 2008. See the news release about the acquisition.
