This portrait shows Lena Pearl Neff Curtiss, whose name is tied to one of the best-known figures of early American aviation through her marriage to Glenn Hammond Curtiss. The catalog date of about 1910 places the picture in the years when Curtiss was building and flying his own airplanes, and when powered flight was still new enough to draw crowds to open fields and lakeshores. The record comes from an old caption card and has not been verified, so details about the sitting itself remain uncertain. Even so, the picture offers a glimpse of the private life behind the public story of the aviator and his circle.
