This Dancer Looks Like That Dancer

The National Police Gazette, New York, N.Y. 12/4/1915

Proofing was rather lax in the past. This is the only mention of Lina Cavalieri mentioned in the entire tabloid (mostly a sporting paper) and it is a photo of Guerrero. There is a great resemblance between the two in early Reutlinger photos.

I've seen contemporary newspaper articles on Guerrero containing photos of the Australian dancer Saharet. In fact, there is a book called Der Tanz, I think published in the 1920s or 1930s, where she is represented by a photograph of Saharet. Saharet, though a can-can dancer, was photographed many times in Spanish costume. 

There is one photo postcard of Guerrero, where "Cavalieri" is airbrushed out and "Guerrero" is typed in.

Some of the earliest images of Guerrero were taken in Paris by the photographer Ogerau. These are circa 1898.

Random Guerrero

This oil painting was up for auction on eBay a few years ago. According to the description, it was painted in the 1940s by W. Gamburtzew “after the famous German Expressionest - Herman Kaulbach of a portrait of a celebrity of the day.” A painted copy of the mis-identified Herman Kaulbach edition of the Friedrich August von Kaulbach postcard. I bid on the painting, but it didn't make the reserve.
