I loved your photograph and was so pleased to include it! It really captures the spirit of the Baroness’s fabulous Limbswish!!.
Browsing the conference bookstall I realised that @MLC_Research cited my photographs of Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven's Limbswish (1918) in the Journal of Avant-Garde Studies - nice surprise!
