Description: This vintage real photo postcard features early British theatre actress, Lily Hanbury (1873-1908). She was born and educated in London. Her theatrical debut was in 1888 when she appeared in W. S. Gilbert’s “Pygmalion and Galatea” at the Savoy Theatre. She played on most major English stages and in such productions as “The Three Musketeers”, “The Stranger”, “Lights O London”, and Ibsen’s “Enemy of the People”. She became very popular with her performances in Shakespeare, acting in plays under the management of both Wilson Barrett and Beerbohm Tree. Tragicially, Hanbury lost her life at a young age when she died of complications after delivering a still-born baby. She was cremated and buried in the Jewish Cemetery at Willieden, England. This postcard was published by Rapid Photo. Miss Hanbury's photo portrait was taken by Louis Saul Langfier. His gallery was founded in 1895 and was located in London. The firm opened a second branch there and by the early 1920's it had about fifty employees. The firm went bankrupt during World War II. This cabinet card is in very good condition.
