Loraine Wyman portrayed in 1914, in a pamphlet directed to concert promoters

(Julie) Loraine Wyman (October 23, 1885 – September 11, 1937) was an American soprano,[1] noted for her concert performances of folk songs, some of which she collected from traditional singers in field work. Paul J. Stamler has called Wyman "the first real practitioner of the urban folk revival."[2]
