EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Catherine Capell-Coningsby (nee Stephens), Countess of Essex, in 1912. Renowned for her talents as an English operatic singer and actress, Catherine's portrait was originally painted by the skilled artist John Jackson in approximately 1822. The image is part of a series called Chairman & Vice-Chair Miniatures cigarette cards, produced by R. J. Lea, Ltd. in Manchester. In this exquisite photograph, Catherine's striking features are highlighted with elegance and grace. Her piercing brown eyes captivate the viewer while her dark hair frames her face beautifully. Dressed impeccably in a stunning period gown with an elaborate collar, she exudes sophistication befitting her aristocratic status. Catherine's direct gaze reflects both confidence and vulnerability simultaneously, revealing the complexities of a woman who dedicated herself to the arts during a time when female performers faced numerous challenges and prejudices. As we admire this snapshot from history, we are transported back to the early 19th century when opera reigned supreme as one of England's most beloved forms of entertainment. This image serves as a testament to Catherine Capell-Coningsby's immense talent and contribution to the world of music. The print collector29 has preserved this remarkable piece that allows us to appreciate not only Catherine's beauty but also her significant role within society as a respected countess and accomplished performer.
