Lunagirl Vintage: New Stuff, Free Stuff, & Fun Stuff — victorian lady

When I heard that "adult coloring pages" were wildly popular now, I thought of these lovely Victorian style coloring pages which I have adapted from antique artwork by Walter Crane. Crane worked during the Victorian "Golden Age of Illustration."  So I'm making them available as a download pack.This collection of 10 downloadable printable pages portrays scenes from fables, fairy tales, and nursery rhymes. I've removed the color, to leave beautifully detailed line drawings ready for you to color with crayons, markers, colored pencils or watercolors.One great thing about these DIGITAL pages is that you print and enjoy them over and over again.

We have many antique French postcards of this beautiful Victorian Edwardian diva, Lina Cavalieri. "La Cavalieri" had quite a colorful life! She was orphaned at age 15, and ran away from a convent orphanage to tour Italy with a theater troupe. She sang at cafes and music halls in Vienna and Paris, and by age 20 was famous across Europe. Lina Cavalieri studied with the top singers of the day, but was known as much for her beauty, fiery temperament, and love of emeralds as for her pleasant voice. She boasted over 800 marriage proposals, of which she accepted four!...

We have so many beautiful photo postcards of Victorian Edwardian actresses and dancers in our Ladies Photos collections, and we thought it would be fun to feature a few favorites. If you are familiar with our photo collections you'll recognize these faces, and maybe you'll enjoy knowing a little more about these famous ladies of the stage.

Many will recognize the unforgettable face of Cleo de Merode.Cléo de Mérode (September 27, 1875 – October 17, 1966), born Cléopatra Diane de Mérode in Paris, France, was the daughter of the Austrian landscape painter Karl Freiherr von Merode, part of a famous Belgian noble family. She began her study of dance at age eight and made her professional debut at age eleven.

Like many of our customers, I am fascinated by the actresses of the Victorian Edwardian era.  This beautiful lady is Maude Fealy, who was born Maude Hawk in Memphis, Tennessee, on March 3, 1881 (sources vary on the year). 

Her mother moved to Denver to teach at the Tabor School of Acting, and Colorado was home to Maude for much of her life.

Her mother Margaret Fealy was an actress, and Maude made her first appearance at age three and was performing dramatic roles at age five. By 1907 she was a well-known actress, appearing on magazine covers and touring the the United States and England in comedies and dramatic plays to general critical acclaim.
