Thelma Given (1896–1977), violinist provincetownhistoryproject.com/browse/view?browseCollecti...

The [New York] Sun, March 03, 1918, Section 5 Magazine Section, Page 10 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030431/1918-03-03/ed-... mentions her as a pupil of Leopold Auer "who will make her debut in the Spring."

Date scribbled on negative might be 2/21/18

Looking at the chairs, I think the photos of Given, Seidel, and Auer were all taken in the same location.

Charles Pickering was commissioned to photograph public works for the government architect James Barnet in 1870. The photographs themselves were intended for display at the London Exhibition of 1873; Pickering was previously engaged as the official photographer to the Metropolitan Intercolonial Exhibition of 1870. Photographers such as Charles Nettleton and the firm of Cox & Luckin were given similiar commissions in Melbourne as photography played an increasingly important role in the work of government departments. (The collection is on the State Libray of N.S.W. database. This database has a facility to view photographs in a high quality resolution which is really the best way to view the photographs - because of size constraints I will post a link to the high resolution version beneath each photograph).

Anyone know who she is? She has a lovely serenity.

Vidiot Thank you! Wish the LOC could have been forthcoming with her full name.

The LOC posts these photos on the Flickr Commons so that volunteer researchers can identify the subjects.

Art Siegel Ah ha...thank you :-)
