Biographical Note
Guy Mannering Scott (1887-1955) was a commercial photographer based in Seattle who took many photographs of Seattle street life, transportation and events. He married Fern E. McDaniel who was possibly a relative of Ira J. Webster of Webster and Stevens Photographers.

In 1956 Sjulstad discovered eight boxes of glass plate negatives in the basement of his home that previously may have been owned by the photographer Guy M. Scott.
