This vintage real photo postcard features British actress, Henriette Watson (1873-1964). Watson was born in Scotland. She made her stage debut at age seven. At sixteen, she was trained and practiced enough to take “second lead” in comedies and modern dramas. As she grew older, larger parts came her way. After appearing in a number of touring and London theater engagements, she joined a touring company on a six month tour of Australia. In 1892 she toured Australia again with the “Mrs Bernard Beere Company”. She appeared in “As in a Looking Glass” with the company.. She toured Australia again in 1899. She later acted in Thornton Wilder’s play, “The Merchant of Yonkers”. Watson’s photo portrait was taken by the celebrated celebrity photographer, Lallie Charles. She was known for her talent as well as the fact that she was a female photographer, an unusual phenomenon for her era. The card is part of the Rival Photographic Series and it was manufactured in England. The postcard was postmarked in 1909. Note the chip on the right border of the card. Accordingly, this postcard is in fair condition (see scans).
