May I just say, that yet again I am in complete awe of how methodical and concise your research is, and you always seem to have the ability to take things to the next level and add layers that goes above and beyond.
Humbling and inspiring
I did notice that Ada is married, as she has a ring on her finger.
She also has a certain look in her eyes that indicates she wasn't someone to cross. A quiet, poised, yet defiant glare into the camera that speaks a thousand words.
Her hand position appears rather unnatural and I get the impression she wasn't comfortable being told to pose for the camera.
I don't get the sense she liked being told what to do and to me she seems quite dominant in her features, and her face contrasts her body position, signalling resilience and strength though oppression.
What an absolutely exquisite find.
