beauties

Photograph of Pearl Aufrere Actress See Nataional Portrait Gallery for some additional images. May have been a chorus girl in London who married well after an abortive engagement to Viscount Dangan. Considered a beauty of her time, many photographs on the web including some from post/cigarette cards.

Wow! She's smoking! That was quite scandalous for a young lady at that time.

Here's one of the cigarette card portraits from "British Beauties : a series of 76 hand coloured real photographs" [New York Public Library Digital Gallery]

nice pictures.

Photograph of Pearl Aufrere Actress by Alexander Bassano (1829-1913) Photographer or possibly by studio of same name given his age at time of this photograph? See Nataional Portrait Gallery for some additional images including some self portraits of photographer. May have been a chorus girl in London who married well after an abortive engagement to Viscount Dangan. Considered a beauty of her time, many photographs on the web including some from post/cigarette cards. Perhaps I shouldn't be surprised but no sooner are these images released than they start to appear for sale via various sites on the web. Obviously still considered a marketable beauty ~100 years later.
