EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases the enchanting Pauline Markham, a renowned actress and opera singer of the 19th century. From the "Worlds Beauties" series by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes, this stunning portrait captures her beauty and talent in vibrant color. Pauline Markham was an American contralto who gained fame on both sides of the Atlantic. Born in Britain, she later moved to America where she became a prominent figure in the entertainment industry. Known for her mesmerizing performances in burlesque shows, vaudeville acts, and operas, Markham's voice resonated with audiences across the country. In this lithograph, we see Markham adorned in an exquisite dress and headdress that epitomize Victorian fashion. Her poise exudes confidence as she gazes into the distance, embodying grace and elegance. As one of America's most celebrated vocalists during this era, Pauline Markham left an indelible mark on both music and theater. Her profession took her to prestigious venues such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), where she showcased her exceptional talent. This print is not just a representation of a beautiful woman; it encapsulates an entire era filled with artistry and cultural significance. It serves as a testament to the rich heritage of performing arts in America during the late 19th century.
