O'Neill, Eugene, 1888-1953.

Eugene O'Neill was an American playwright and Nobel Prize winner. Suspended from Princeton University, he spent a number of years at sea. O'Neill's first published play, Beyond the Horizon, opened on Broadway in 1920 to great acclaim, and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. His best-known plays include Anna Christie (Pulitzer Prize 1922), Desire Under the Elms (1924), Strange Interlude (Pulitzer Prize 1928), Mourning Becomes Electra (1931), and Long Day's Journey into Night (Pulitzer Prize, 1957).

The collection consists of 55 photographs of O'Neill and his wife, Carlotta, taken by various photographers. Included are some of O'Neill as a small boy, with Carlotta in France, at Beacon Farm, Long Island, and Casa Genotta, Georgia. Many of the photographs have descriptive notations.
