GRuban, any image of Talma? There's one of both in the interview under External links, but I'm afraid that's not possible. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:22, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
Lots at the Library of Congress, including most of those from the interview, but they don't say they are public domain, unfortunately, and don't say when/where they were first published. If there were a newspaper with a photo, or a cover photo on one of her works, that might be possible, we could hope it wouldn't be renewed, but we need publication information. --GRuban (talk) 17:40, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for the search. - I DO hope that readers will find the interview, and the bio-book, because they really have much more detail. - I'm behind for Beethoven's works ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:18, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
