The following statement was provided by D. Frederick Baker in March, 2010:

This is the photograph album of Helen Chase (Storm) daughter of William Merritt Chase and his wife Alice, the frontispiece photograph being that of Helen Chase as a young girl, and end page a photograph of her several years later. Alice prepared photograph albums for each of her children, which included many photos of their life together in Shinnecock Hills, Long Island. Of special importance are the many photographs of paintings by Chase. Helen's album also includes a few photographs of friends and luminaries; especially interesting is the inscribed photograph to "Mr. Chase" by the French cabaret singer and actress Yvette (Guilbert) -- best remembered today from her portrait painted by Toulouse-Lautrec. There are a few photographs that were apparently cut out of the album -- according to Helen's son, Jackson Storm Chase, Helen cut out photographs of herself that she decided were not particularly flattering.
