Vintage real photo postcard 1 and 2 features actress Helene Verdes. At least I think that she is a stage actress. Perhaps a cabinet card gallery visitor knows something about her and will leave some biographical information in the form of a comment. I tried to research her but drew blanks. The photographs of Miss Verdes are by Lucien Walery and he certainly is known for his postcard portraits of theatre performers. Miss Verdes apparently didn’t receive much fame from her theatrical endeavors despite her great beauty. Lucien Walery was a celebrated Paris photographer known for his portraits of artists and cabaret dancers from the city’s music halls. He is very well known for his portraits of Mata Hari and Josephine Baker. Walery did a lot of work in the genre of nude/erotic photography. He photographed the beautiful women of Paris between the early 1900’s and the 1920’s. Apparently there is considerable debate about Walery’s actual identity. Some contend that he was actually Stanislaw Julian Ignacy Count Ostrorog, a British photographer of Polish ancestry who may have moved to Paris in about 1900. These postcards date back to the early 1900’s and were published by Marqus Etoile of Paris and are part of a series (no. 310).

This vintage real photo postcard is a wedding portrait of a uniformed military officer and his pretty bride. The officer is holding white gloves and has his hand on the hilt of his sword. The bride is wearing a wedding gown and veil. Her pose and expression indicates that she is a self assured woman. The previous owner of this postcard stated that the military man is a member of the Yugoslavian army. I am unable to confirm that to be true. The message on the reverse of this postcard indicates that the photograph was taken in 1928. (SOLD)
This cabinet card features an old woman sitting at a table, using a ladle to fill four glasses with a dark colored drink (potion). She is taking the drink from a pot on the table. The woman is wearing a most unusual dress. The dress has a tic tac toe like symbol on it. It would be interesting to know the meaning of the symbol. It would also be interesting to know what is happening in this photograph. Is the woman an actress on stage? Was she simply posed by a studio photographer using his props? This cabinet card presents quite a mystery. (SOLD)

Anyone who collects vintage theatrical/film actress postcards, is very familiar with the subject of this real photo postcard. Gabrielle Robinne (1886-1980) is an actress that was widely photographed. The reason for the production of so many postcards featuring Miss Robinne is that she was very popular during her era. Certainly, one of the reasons for her popularity, was her great beauty. Robinne was born in France and was a student at the Paris Conservatory. In 1904 she joined the company of Sarah Bernhardt and later joined the Theatre Michel in St. Petersburg, Russia. Her career soared when she began performing at the Comedie-Francaise in 1907. She remained with the company until 1938. She made her film debut in the 1906 production of “Le troubadour”. Two years later she had her first huge success in “L’assassinat du Duc de Guise” (1908). She is considered by many to be the first French star of the silent film era. She charmed her audiences with her beauty and excellent acting. Gabrielle Robinne shared her time between stage and film. The IMDb reports that she appeared in nearly fifty films between 1906 and 1973.She was known for “Conquered Hate” (1913,) “Struggle for Life” (1914), and “La reine de Saba” (1913). Robinne was married to actor Rene Alexandre from 1912 until she was widowed in 1946. Her work in the theater and film was recognized by France when she was made an Officer of the Legion of Honor, the highest French order of Merit.
Postcard 1 was published by Societe Industrielle de Photograpie (SIP) of Rueil, France and was part of a series (no. 1342).
