"Minnie Hauk (1851-1929) Minnie Hauk (Amalia Mignon Hauck) was an American soprano. At age fourteen she made her debut in Brooklyn as Amina in "La Sonnambula," and a month later, in November, 1866, her New York City debut as Prascovia in "L'Etoile du Nord." In the American premiere of Gounod's "Romeo et Juliette" (1867) she sang Juliette. Hauk debuted in Paris in 1869 and in London that same year. The soprano then appeared in Italian and German opera throughout Europe. Hauk was the first American Carmen (1878) and Manon (1885). Her voice became a mezzo-soprano of great strength and depth. Hauk's enormous repertory included approximately one hundred roles and she sang Carmen in four languages. " www.picturehistory.com/product/id/21369

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Victorian Photographic Portraits of People, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

¿como puede tener esa cintura?

I blame a cruel corset for the less than comfortable look on her face; what an inhumane practice that was. The hip to waist ratio is aberrant.

Would this be one of her "Carmen" costumes?

Her feet are so tiny!

She seems built in all the right places, extremley tiny feet, and amazing features

love those shoes! beautiful lady.

hahaha!
