Possibly last photograph of Sara Olea Bull Vaughan
This is possibly the last photo of Olea taken in the winter of 1910. Nivedita, perhaps, has been summoned or is on her journey from India, to be the trusted friend and bedside companion of Sara Bull, mother of Olea and also Swami Vivekananda's "American Mother."
For some reason, in the later photos taken by Bartlett, Olea no longer raises her eyes into the camera. Is she sick with tuberculosis in this photograph? She would pass away 7 months later.
From what I can tell from the Letters of Sister Nivedita, Olea went to Nivedita's mother in England in 1908 to give birth to this child.
I am surmising this only from the letters and reading between the lines.
Olea would later accuse Nivedita of bringing poisons from India to bring "undue influence" over her mother, Sara Bull.
Sister Christine asserted that this is what killed Nivedita, "there is no doubt about it" she says in a letter to Josephine Macleod, from India...
