#CeJourLà 🎨 Née le 30 octobre 1853, la peintre, sculptrice et graveuse Louise Abbéma se fait remarquer en 1876 par un portrait de Sarah Bernhardt. Portraitiste du monde des arts, elle s’illustre aussi dans les scènes de genre et le paysage. @gallicabnf @parismusees

I am resuming my book related posting as first proofs are in and I’m just waiting on final proofs and my students’ final papers. Today a tidbit about Jeanne Demarsy, who I profile in the book. I even found one of her outrageous bills for lingerie which made international news!

1/Very happy with my cute new carte de visite album. Also the new postcard of Jeanne Demarsy (the model for Manet’s Jeanne). Here she’s playing a harem role in “Mon Oncle Barbassou,” an 1891 Gymnase production. I discovered a lot about Demarsy’s career as an actress and cocotte,

Jeanne de Mary by Nadar. Bust profile photo of white woman draped in many strands of pearls including a choker, around her neck, over her shoulder and in her hair which is half up. Low cut bodice tinted aqua seems covered in sequins. Pink lipstick and burgundy flowers in her hair; chest faintly skin tone. Postcard otherwise B&W

Going to be a bit quieter over the next two weeks as I have final page proofs to review (and an index to assemble!). Keeping two of the women in the book close as inspiration. ❤️ Wish me luck!

1/ Now for a story that I do discuss in the book: In the late 1870s, Giovanni Boldini, a young Italian modern-life painter was enjoying an “early rise to fame,” as one contemporary critic put it. Eager to couple the beauty and celebrity of an actress with a fashionable #19thc 🧵

Can’t resist sharing this other recent find on eBay. Another shot of Alice Regnault by Gaston, Mathieu & Cie this time in costume as Julia, a Horse Guard in "Le Trône d'Ecosse,” which debuted at the Théâtre des Variétés on Nov. 17, 1871. #19thc #France #theatrehistory 🧵1/6

I’m going to start sharing images of some of the women discussed in my forthcoming book. These images won’t necessarily be the ones in the book, though some of them will be. Here’s a photograph of Alice Regnault, an actress at the Théâtre du Gymnase whom I discuss.

People who don't know much about clothes always reduce the topic to trends and status signaling. But clothing can illuminate almost any topic about society. 🧵
