Arnold Genthe photographed Miss Grendon in 1919. The portrait exists as a nitrate negative measuring five by seven inches in the Library of Congress collection.

Genthe maintained a studio in San Francisco from 1896 to 1911 before relocating to New York, where he continued working into the 1940s. After his death in 1942, the Library of Congress acquired approximately 20,000 items from his unclaimed studio.
