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.
