Gorgeously tinted image of Belle Epoque actress Suzy Mabel at the Moulin Rouge. We haven't found any biographical info on Mlle. Mabel, just yet, but we do know that she played the part of Lysistrata at some point in her career, probably in a version of the Maurice Donnay adaptation from Aristophanes.
Walery, a Lithuanian aristocrat and master portraitist, who inherited both his title of count and his trade from his father, began his career as a photographer in London, but moved his studios to Paris in 1900. He seems to have been Mlle. Mabel's favorite photographer, as all of the dozen, or so, images of her we've run across thus far, were taken by him. A lovely card.
