Janette Steer

Today's Sepia Saturday theme is 'Theatre', so I thought this picture (one of my many, growing collection of signed actress pictures from the early 20th Century) was perfect. Janette Steer was a Victorian actress who moved to London from the United States in 1893. She was well known for playing Hamlet and for being a militant feminist and suffragette- she was a close friend of the Pankhurst family and socialised with many of the suffragette actresses such as Ellen Terry. Interesting lady!

Twitter!

An unscheduled post to let you know that Ladies in Monochrome is now on Twitter! If you'd like to know exactly when a new picture goes online, please follow @MonochromeLady

Thank you!

'Ever your friend, Margaret.'

It's Burn's Night, I thought this picture was fitting!

'Plain Seasickness'

When I saw the caption written on the back of this photo and the looks on these girls' faces, I had to buy it!
