EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting presence of Rita Jolivet, an English actress who graced the silver screen during the early 20th century. Taken between 1911 and 1912, Jolivet's beauty shines through as she poses elegantly in a stunning Edwardian dress, epitomizing the fashion trends of her time. Although her career in silent films spanned from 1914 to 1926, Jolivet only appeared in a modest number of twenty movies. However, her impact on the industry was profound. She was part of Hollywood's golden era when moving pictures were still finding their voice. Tragically, fate intervened during one fateful voyage aboard the RMS Lusitania on May 7th, 1915. The ship fell victim to a German U-boat attack in the vast Atlantic Ocean. Miraculously surviving this horrific event that claimed many lives, Jolivet emerged as a survivor from this maritime tragedy. This photograph is sourced from Penroses Pictorial Annual for 1911-1912 and edited by William Gamble; it offers us a glimpse into both Jolivet's glamorous world and historical events that shaped her life. As we admire this monochrome image capturing her timeless beauty and talent as an actress, we are reminded not only of entertainment history but also of human resilience amidst adversity.
