written work[edit]

I wonder if it's worth mentioning that she contributed an article to the first issue of Camera Work (1903) which was a glowing tribute to Gertrude Käsebier? (None of her own photos were ever published in it.) Samatarou (talk) 02:26, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

more work needed[edit]

I came across this article because I wanted to use a photo she took in articles about long-dead Virginia politicians. Because of the insurrection as well as Covid epidemic, the Library of Congress is still closed to researchers, so I could not read the cited book about her early life. Still, I wondered how she could move in Washington society. Thus I added the DAR lineage book page about her mother, as well as two census refs about her paternal grandfather and explained that Mayfield Kentucky is across from Cincinnati. In part because of the common surname, I had difficulty finding her father's prewar census records, or any military service in the conflict. In fact, he may have served or been a paymaster or somehow affiliated with the B&O railroad. Her parents could have met in Baltimore, but given that her mother was widowed for nearly 2 decades, I could not determine whether her journalistic career predated her marriage or in widowhood alongside her daughter's. I also don't have time to research addresses--the studio on V street may have been the house the Johnston family occupied in the 1890s. For what it's worth, the many passive constuctions in the current text disturb me, adn using "served" to describe any sort of job is a particular personal pet peeve, as was the illegal and unattributed by "graymail" robocall after I signed in this morning.Jweaver28 (talk) 17:22, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Picture with Mattie/mother?[edit]

There's a photograph which was originally captioned as being Frances with her partner Mattie, then changed "02:55, 24 September 2019‎ 67.34.7.142 talk‎ 22,176 bytes −14‎ The photograph caption as displayed was altered from the actual caption as provided by the Library of Congress. The edit restores the actual caption text from the LoC file as shown here: https://www.loc.gov/resource/cph.3a47220/". The LoC picture does indeed say "Frances Benjamin Johnston, with Maddie (her mother), 1903". But her mother wasn't called Maddie, and the two women don't look the ages of mother and daughter. Perhaps someone with knowledge, and a picture of Mattie, could clear this up? I had changed the caption to read "Mattie" but, for the time being have reverted to "mother" as it's sourced. Caption reads "Frances Benjamin Johnston Collection/LOC cph.3a47220. Frances Benjamin Johnston, with Maddie (her mother), before a painted backdrop of the Cliff House in San Francisco, California, 1903". Best wishes, Pol098 (talk) 20:08, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
