Biographical/historical: Sarah Louise (or Louisa) Fairbrother, 1816-1890, made her stage debut in London in 1827, and performed at Covent Garden and Drury Lane in the 1830s. She frequently performed male roles, though she also played Columbine in the Christmas pantomime Harlequin and the merrie devil of Edmonton in 1839. Unfettered by convention, she bore children to different fathers, and became the morganatic wife of the second Duke of Cambridge.
Biographical/historical: From the series Sketches at the ballet. The Victoria & Albert Museum in London holds another print from this series, a portrayal of the ballerina Lucile Grahn.
