    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethel_Leginska
    "Ethel Liggins (13 April 1886 – 26 February 1970) was a British pianist, composer, conductor and music educator." Her stage name was Leginska.

    There have been several pictures of her earlier in the Bain stream. See, for example, Leginska (LOC)

    swanq, thanks for finding the correct spelling of her name and other photos. We'll update the catalog record.

    Pretty sure this is Ethel Leginska, and the name was mistranscribed from the caption on the negative. "Ethel Leginska née Liggins (13 April 1886 – 26 February 1970) was a British pianist, composer, conductor and music educator." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethel_Leginska "Ethel Leginska, one of the most talented musicians of the 20th century, was born plain 'Ethel Liggins' in Hull in 1886, but took the name 'Leginska' on the advice of Lady Maud Warrender, in an era when the best top-class musicians had Polish- or Russian-sounding names." www.leginska.org/leginska.html
