This cabinet card features a pretty young costumed actress playing the role of a crusader. Notice her sheathed sword, plumed helmet, and high boots. An ebayer has written me to say that the actress in this photograph is French operetta singer and actress, Laurence Grivot (1843-1890). However, I have not been able to confirm that identification. This lovely photograph comes from a well respected studio in Boston, Massachusetts. The studio is Warren’s Portraits and it was located at 465 Washington Street. The photographer was George K. Warren. Warren’s Studios photographed many celebrities and notable people in Boston. SOLD
