Original albumen photograph in cabinet card format, mounted on cardboard. At the bottom of the photograph: Aimé dupont, 574 fifth Avenue, New-York.
Portrait of the actress taken in New-York during the great American tour of 1880-1881 (256 performances in 50 cities). Sarah Bernhardt poses in elegant Parisian attire, her gaze turned skyward. Signed in the plate: Copyright by A. Dupont. Good overall condition, one dark stain on the right of the photograph, near the margin.
Aimé Dupont was a Belgian photographer, first active in Brussels, then in Paris. He settled in New-York with his American wife Etta Greer, herself a photographer. Already in Paris, the photographer had specialized in photographs of actors and singers from the Opera, and he renewed this specialty for the New-York opera and all the French artists who came to the USA. It is therefore not surprising that Sarah Bernhardt visited his studio to create a recent photograph dedicated to her American tour.
