EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the vibrant personality of Catherine Lewis, a British-born American comic opera actress and singer, as she poses in the midshipman costume that made her a beloved figure on the Victorian stage. Dating back to the 1880s, this sepia photograph showcases Catherine's playful and engaging demeanor, as she confidently steps forward with a hat in hand and a mischievous smile. The midshipman costume, complete with flared trousers and a columned backdrop, adds to the theatricality of the scene, further emphasizing Catherine's stage presence. With her arms crossed and a column as a prop, she exudes a sense of strength and determination, embodying the spirit of the naval world.
