[edit] Summary

The original came (as I recall) from Ada Picture Gallery. They claim that it was distributed by the AJPO as an EPS image [1].

The real original seems to be [2]

which is captioned the Ada Picture Gallery as

Probably the original color portrait of Ada mentioned above. Evelyn Silva scanned this from a picture she found "in the trash" in Lousianna, USA, and submitted it to the Ada Picture Gallery in October 2000. She wrote: On the bottom of the picture it says "LONDON PUBLISHED NOV 1 1838 FOR THE PROPRIETORS, No 18 & 19 SOUTHAMPTON PLACE, EUSTON SQUARE, NEW ROAD". In the lower left corner it says "Printered by Mc Queen". On the lower right of the picture its "Engraved By W. H. Mote". On the left "Drawn by A.E. Chaton R.A.". There was also a page with a bio on it. This was not in a book when I found it, it was loose along with some other Ladies of the Queens court. So I don't have any other info on it. It is an orginal print from its time, not a reproduction. (Contributed by Evelyn Silva, 46KB 631x786 JPEG)

The small image is widely used (including by me) as a logo for the [Ada(programming language)|Ada(programming language)].
