Dear Andy,
Peter Reed founded THE AMERICAN MUSIC LOVER in the mid-thirties. I have a
complete run through 1956 and I recall one or more portraits of him that
appeared within, but not before the forties. He lived on Reed Avenue in
Pelham. Donald Vroon of Cincinnati, OH is the current owner. He may be able
to help you. Otherwise, the NYPL and Rogers and Hammerstein Division might
have something (particularly NYPL Research Division's Iconography
Collection), or possibly LC. Good luck. At about the same time he was
reviewing records for WNYC, Reed wrote record reviews for THE ETUDE, the
magazine of Theodore Presser Publishers in Bryn Mawr, PA. They maintained
an extensive file of photos, drawings, manuscripts, etc. used in the
magazine, which remained intact into the early 90s. They might have
something.
