Elise de Vere was one of the premiere stars of her time. Here she is, with her big, upswept hair, those two trademark pheasant tail-feathers jutting out of that huge chapeau. A song and dance Queen of la Belle Epoque, she graced the Paris stage of theaters like Le Moulin Rouge, Les Folies Bergere, Le Vaudeville, and others. She rubbed elbows with royalty and commoners alike, painters of the left bank, and the waiters who served them the champagne, and that green fairy, Absinthe . It is no wonder stars of the early silver screen, like Marlene Dietrich and Mae West, were able to pull off their moves so well, when they had images like this one to draw upon for inspiration. What a classic pose. Photo by the famous Reutlinger of Paris.
Early 1900s, probably pre-1905, undivided back. Some hand tinting. Visible age spotting.
