EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting beauty of Violet Lydia Thompson, also known as Violet Cameron, an English actress and singer from the late 19th century. The image is a lithograph from the "Worlds Beauties" series by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes in 1888. Dressed in a stunning Victorian gown adorned with exquisite jewelry and a majestic tiara, Cameron exudes elegance and grace. Violet Cameron was not only recognized for her talent on stage but also gained notoriety due to her scandalous affair with Hugh Lowther, the 5th Earl of Lonsdale. As an opera singer and actress, she captivated audiences both in Britain and America with her mesmerizing performances. The vibrant colors of this trade card bring to life the glamour and allure of the entertainment industry during that era. It serves as a reminder of how cigarette cards were once used as collectibles to promote various products while featuring prominent figures like Cameron. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph offers us a glimpse into the past - an era when women's fashion was extravagant, opera singers were revered celebrities, and society was fascinated by tales of love affairs between aristocrats and artists. Through this image, we can appreciate not only Violet Cameron's timeless beauty but also gain insight into the cultural heritage surrounding artistry and entertainment in both Britain and America during the late 19th century.
