Anita Marson, Child Actress with a Halo of Fringe - Carte de Visite by Mora
In looking through my sets I realized that I have not posted as many carte de visites as other types of photographs. I made a quick run though a box of cdvs and scanned several. I will post them over the next few days.
At a Maryland antique show many years ago we found a large collection of photographs of 19th century actresses and show girls. Many had names of the women or the shows in which they appeared written on them in the same hand. We have always assumed that they were a collection put together by a fan of the theatre in the 19th century. Some of these have already been posted and today I am adding two more.
This cdv of a young actress has always been one of my favorites. The first time I saw it the frill or fringe around her figure seemed to glow. With only the name "Anita" written on the back. I assumed that I would never find her. After searching for 19th century actresses named Anita I believe that she is Anita Marson.
