brilliant research as always, David. That must be her in Ginsberg's photo that you link to at the NGA website, right? that's never crystal clear from his captions but based on the other photos here, it seems it has to be. Thanks as always!
I'm not sure. She looks too young. In fact, she looks younger than Karena did in photos from 10-15 years earlier. Also, his comment about "American girl passing through" suggests someone else. There is a strong resemblance (especially in her cheeks), so perhaps she's one of Karena's daughters. Could also possibly be a student.
Now that you point out the 'american girl passing through' it seems pretty unambiguous it's not Shields. How often I've read that and it didn't quite register. Funny how we perceive age, but to me that woman could be 50!
Yeah. It's a strange photo. When I saw your comment, I went back and looked and felt it might be Shields. I compared various photos and felt the facial structure was her but it was surprising she looked so young. Then I read the annotation again and realised. Shields took a lot of students to her land and showed them the Mayan ruins, so quite possibly it's one of those. However, given the resemblance I think it could be one of her daughters.
