Interesting life, on good sources, offline source accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed, and the perfect illustration, better than words. I find almost more exciting that she destroyed so many of her glass negatives, but otherwise lean towards the original hook. Both exhibition and blizzard are rather the exceptions. In the article, I'd mention the birth years of their children in brackets after each name (instead of "respectively), and not speak of her child. I'd combine supershort paragraphs and add an infobox, but all these suggestions up to you to take or not. Let's do this: I approve and if you come up with another hook, I'll check again. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:07, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: Thanks for the review. I've added an infobox, combined some paragraphs, and reworded a few bits per your suggestions. I considered including a hook about the destruction of the negatives, but didn't feel that the sources I have access to addressed the topic in enough depth to do it justice. gobonobo + c 08:46, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
