| Description |
Netta Eames (1852–1944) was born Ninetta Wiley, in Wisconsin on September 26, 1852. She is commonly known as Netta. She is best known as a writer and magazine editor in the late 1800s and early 1900s. As the editor of the San Francisco based Overland Monthly magazine (founded by Brett Harte), she became an early proponent of Jack London as a writer. She was the first to publish one of his articles, "To the Man on Trail", in 1899 [Note 1], and wrote a promotional biography of London in Overland Monthly 1900, which helped to establish his career. Netta was the aunt and surrogate mother of author Charmian Kittredge, whom she raised from the age of six. |

By her clothing and her apparent age in the image it is highly likely to be 1910 as captioned and certainly prior to 1923. Additionally she was a San Francisco Bay Area resident and the photographer moved his studio to New York in 1913.
