Gertrude Käsebier (1852-1934) established herself in the 1890s as one of the first professional women photographers. Above is her 1901 study of the 16-year-old Evelyn Nesbit, regarded as the most sensational beauty of her day – at the height of the Gibson Girl craze – who had famous men literally murdering each other for her favors. Käsebier specialized in portraits, but most of her subjects led more tranquil lives than Evelyn Nesbit. "I earnestly advise women of artistic tastes to train for the unworked field of modern photography. It seems to be especially adapted to them, and the few who have entered it are meeting a gratifying and profitable success." – quoted in Gertrude Käsebier : The Photographer and Her Photographs by Barbara L. Michaels (New York : Abrams, 1992)

Michal Elwiro Andriolli (1836 Wilno - 1893 Naleczow) Sélection d'illustrations pour: Le Dernier Des Mohicans de Fenimore Cooper Librairie de Firmin-Didot & Cie - 1881 À noter, cette illustration où un sauvage fracasse le crane d'un enfant, devant les yeux de la mère suppliante. Avant de "jeter aux pieds de la mère les restes palpitants". Je suis toujours surpris par la violence contenue dans ces livres, destinés à la jeunesse de l'époque. Notre homme semble avoir eu une vie aventureuse. Pour une fois, je reproduis la fiche wikipédia qui lui est consacrée, merci à son auteur: Michal Elwiro Andriolli (2 novembre ou 14 novembre 1836, Wilno – 23 août 1893, Naleczów) est un peintre, dessinateur et illustrateur polonais. Il est le fils d’un sculpteur italien qui était capitaine dans les armées napoléoniennes arrivées en Pologne. Il s’y est marié et s’est fixé à Wilno. Michal Elwiro étudie d’abord à l’école de peinture et de sculpture de Moscou, ensuite il continue sa formation à l’académie impériale des beaux-arts de Saint-Pétersbourg (1855-1858). En 1861, il part pour Rome où il étudie à l’académie Saint Luc. L’Italie, tellement différente de la Lituanie et de la Russie, a une grande influence sur lui. De retour dans son pays natal, il participe à l’Insurrection de Janvier ce qui lui vaut d’être arrêté par les autorités tsaristes en 1864. Il parvient à s’échapper de sa prison et rejoindre Londres, puis Paris. En 1866, revenu au pays en tant qu’émissaire du Comité de l’émigration polonaise, il est à nouveau arrêté et envoyé en exil à Wiatka où il apprendra à utiliser ses talents artistiques. Il y décorera une église orthodoxe russe, réalisera des portraits et des paysages. Gracié par le tsar en 1871, il s’installe à Varsovie où il travaille comme illustrateur pour plusieurs journaux. Il devient célèbre en illustrant les éditions luxueuses de quelques chefs d’œuvre de la littérature polonaise dont Pan Tadeusz et Konrad Wallenrod d’Adam Mickiewicz (1879-1882). De 1883 à 1886, il vit à Paris où il illustre Roméo et Juliette de Shakespeare ainsi que des romans de James Fenimore Cooper. Il a peint de nombreux tableaux, notamment pour la décoration de l’église de Kowno (Kaunas). Ici se trouve une fiche plus complète, mais en polonais.
