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.

FAK Image of the Day 4/3 ~ Die Tanzerin for the Russian Market

Die tanzerin Guerrero by Friedrich Augutst von Kaulbach was one of his most popular paintings and definitely was the most widely reproduced of his Guerrero portraits. Some are well-produced, some editions have colors issues. Some identify her correctly as "The Dancer Guerrero", some as Otero, some just as the anonymous "Danseuse" or "Carmen". One has her identified as "Tamara". Eight images below:
