The Sisters Lorrison as they appeared at Anthony's in Paris in the early 1900s, in high chignons and adorned with mums. They were a very popular act internationally at the turn of the century. This card was published right around 1900, and posted in 1904. Wonderful hand tinting, and a great example of Belle Epoque/Art Nouveau "classical" costume design and head decoration. Quite a lot of imagery and info on the Sisters Lorrison is available online. In our images, we have added below, a link to a brief review of the "Sisters," taken from what appears to be a collected anthology of the entertainment periodical "Pick Me Up"
