Hi,, looking into the images on commons, I came across this one and I wonder if this is the same person. If positivie, it might be enhance the article. Thank you for your time. Lotje (talk) 09:47, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the suggestion, - I'm not good at sourcing or knowing what to do with images myself, but they definitely make articles more accessible and interesting, so it's fantastic that people like you are on the look out! Unfortunately, I don't think this is likely to be the same person: there isn't much biographical information on the novelist, but what there is has her in England/Wales as a cleargyman's wife, rather than being a Brooklyn socialite. Dsp13 (talk) 12:12, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you Dsp13 for looking into this. Too bad it doesn't work out this time. But, one never knows, isn't it? :-) Cheers Lotje (talk) 12:15, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
