Here on the NPG's Search the Collection page for May Prinsep you're giving the correct year of her death, 1931. However in the Victorian Giants show (which was superb!) the attribution/description card on the wall for the Rejlander portrait of May incorrectly gives her death as "93". Was hoping it was just a typo there, but the error is in the published catalog too. I don't think you will doubt that the 1931 date is the correct one, but I do have a copy of May's funeral programme as hard verification.
