Portrait of Ada R. Bellfield (later Martin; Mrs. Thomas Kingsley),
cabinet card studio photograph taken in Norwich, New York, c. 1894. The image depicts a young woman seated and holding a book, reflecting late Victorian ideals of education and refinement. The verso bears extensive family annotations documenting her English origins in Birmingham, immigration to Buffalo, NY, marriage in 1896, and the birth of her daughter Margaret Kingsley in 1901, providing unusually strong genealogical provenance.
