Lanner and music by Mons. Wenzel on February 14th 1898 that first marked her "and for many years to come" as a London "star." The ballet gave her scope for some wonderful and proved immensely popular. It was a novel idea artistically carried out and illustrated the history and power of the Fourth Estate. A number of charming coryphees were ingeniously attired as representatives of the various newspapers boys' costumes indicating the morning and girls' the evening journals. The venerable Times was typified by a man in the guise of Father Time with hour-glass and other symbols of his ancient office and accompanied by a retinue. Mme. Cavallazzi represented Caxton Father of the Printing Press; Mile. Zanfretta the Spirit of Fashion; and there were typical costumes for The Standard The Daily Telegraph The Globe The Daily Mail then two years old! The Illustrated London News who announced that she was " Established 1842 " The Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News The Lady's Pictorial The Sketch The Referee and others too numerous to name. So popular did the ballet prove that this also ran for months and it was not until October of the same year that a new production " Alaska" was staged the scenario of which was by Mr. Wilhelm the choregraphy by Mme. Lanner and music by Mons. Wenzel.' See Image. Without place or date. [ Ballet performed at the Empire Theatre, London in 1898.] unknown

1909List1921London 1909. Silver gelatin prints measuring 5 ½ x 4 ½ inches. Editorial marks to verso one marginal tear else about fine with fine contrast very good plus overall. Fine. Western shows particularly Buffalo Bill’s which ran in Earls Court for several years were highly influential in introducing the British public to American Indian culture often in highly fictionalized form. After the Buffalo Bill show ceased performing in London others followed including the The Golden West and American U.S.A. industries exhibition of 1909. Offered here are three photographs of American Indian children from the exhibition who were likely part of the show’s ‘Red Man Spectacle.†They are likely Oglala. The show featured a reenactment of an entirely fictitious event called the “Black Hawk Massacre in Colorado†and some veterans of Cody’s shows including Red Shirt Lone Bear and Painted Horse were among the performers. The three children pictured here are named Little Holy Flower Hold His Hand and Come in Camp. A note to a verso says the pictures were taken concurrently with the Franco-British Exposition which continued for several years in various iterations beginning in 1908. We find one variant image from this shoot otherwise no record of these images which may have been taken by the Brown Brothers firm or possibly ended up in their possession from another photographer. unknown
