Model, actor and photographer, Marion Morehouse (1903-1969) was cummings' third wife; they married in 1934. Frequently described as "the first supermodel", she worked with the fashion photographers Edward Steichen, Cecil Beaton, and Baron George Hoyningen-Huene and appeared in Vogue and Vanity Fair. After her modelling career ended, Morehouse took up photography, tutored by Steichen, and had a studio in New York; indeed, her income was important for their household following cummings' mother's death, when his amall annual stipend ended. Both the laid-in photograph and the photograph of cummings on the dust jacket are part of a series of frank portraits of her husband. The image-making was reciprocal, with cummings often painting his wife.
