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.

The previous post contains a novelty "Hold to light" postcard featuring a photo by Charles Reutlinger. Here are more photos in the series from which that image was taken. She is holding a cigarette and sitting in a fantastic bentwood chair, probably by Michael Thonet. All photos circa 1899.

Regardez par transparence

 Regardez par transparence or a "Hold to light" postcard. Hold to light postcards were popular novelty cards during the late 19th - early 20th century. This series has drawn "statues" of famous performers and when the card is held to the light, a photographic image can be seen. Famous beauties include Caroline Otero, Lina Cavalieri, Liane de Vries and others. The photographic image is by Reutlinger circa 1899.
