Summary
Roberson discovered a portrait of herself taken as an infant, used without her permission, on a poster advertising Franklin Mills Flour, a product manufactured in Lockport, Niagara County, New York. In 1900, when she was 17, through her guardian, Roberson sued Franklin Mills. She also sued Rochester Folding Box Co., which had printed 25,000 copies of the poster. Roberson's lawyers claimed in state Supreme Court that the use of her image without her permission had caused the young woman mental anguish. And they alleged that the defendants had invaded Roberson's "right to privacy.".
