Lillian Russell (1860-1922) - The Amazing Life Of A “Scandalous” Operetta Diva
Her importance has been somewhat exaggerated because of her looks and mini scandals … she has become a ‘name’ … witness the film. But she’s still fun!”
Indeed, she is. And in many ways her career is typical of other famous operetta divas from the 19th century, be it in Paris or Vienna. So I think it’s worth presenting Helena Louisa Leonard afresh, the woman born on 4 December 1860 in Clinton, Iowa, who died in New York in 5 June 1922 and was “America’s queen of comic opera in the last decades of the 19th century”, a “buxom beauty of early 20th-century Broadway burlesque.”

[Year: 1867 Medium: Albumen silver print from glass negative Artist/creator: Portrait taken of an unknown samurai, by the respected Nagasaki photographer Uchida Kuichi, at his Yokohama studio before he moved to the Asakusa district of Edo (modern Tokyo). Uchida would go on to be the first and only photographer permitted to photograph the Emperor Meiji.]
i love the thought of nations appearing in old photographs and portraits, crossing paths with real photographers, painters and sculptors—and leaving glimpses of themselves throughout history that way. personally, i think kiku always kept long hair—until the pressure to westernise unleashed by the american black ships and the encroachment of other western powers. and so, right on the dawn of the meiji era, i see him deciding to have one final photograph taken before that symbolic haircut that would break with centuries of japanese and wider east asian tradition.
