It is difficult to find these Imperial Russian cards. La Cavalieri in what feels an almost candid pose. What a hat! :) Lina Cavalieri was adored in Russia. This image was produced in St Petersburg, and may well have been shot in early 1911, when she performed before members of the imperial family and other important dignitaries, at the Winter Palace. Such a charming image.

The item you are considering for purchase is, unless otherwise noted, a vintage postcard of approximately 5 and 1/2, by 3 and 1/2 inches. Postage is for fully insured, first class, shipping in a secure photo mailer (to avoid any damage to your purchase in the mails), and we happily combine shipping on all paper goods. If you purchase two cards, we will refund the postage on the second card, and when you purchase three or more cards from us at the same time, your shipping will be entirely free, except for international orders which, because of increases in international shipping rates will still be charged one card's shipping fees on orders of three or more. We do not charge for insurance or shipping materials, and as of the date of this listing are still charging below our overall cost on shipping.
