San
Francisco Call, Volume 79, Number 75, February 13, 1896:
MISS BINCKLEY'S GIFT.
The Artist Presents a Handsome Painting to the
Press Club.
Miss Nellie F. Binckley, the artist, has presented to the Press
Club a very handsome painting of a lady in this City, the wife of a business man.
The lady has thick blonde hair, and is of a type of beauty rarely seen. The
picture as it is finished represents a sort of modern Ophelia. There is a crown
of marguerites in her hair, and the touches given otherwise make her appear in
a manner very attractive. The canvas is nearly two by three feet in size. The
portrait is much appreciated by the club. It is said to be a perfect likeness
of the lady who sat for the artist.
[Nellie/Nella Fontaine Binckley (1860-1951)
The San Francisco Press Club was formed in the late 1880s. To confuse matters, there is also a wine bar by that name]
