$13.99

This vintage real photo postcard features English actress, singer, and dancer, Gaynor Rowlands (1883-1906). She carried the nickname of \"The Nightingale of Wales\". She started her career in Empire Theatres\'s Ballet. Upon graduation, she joined the company chorus line of George Edwarde\'s Gaiety Theatre. She toured India in 1901/02. She quickly became a star and she became the most photographed of the \"Gaiety Girls\". She was a popular subject of photo postcards and theatre magazine articles. Rowland\'s life was cut short when she died of heart failure at the age of twenty-three after surgery for appendicitis. Eight portraits of Gaynor are in England\'s National Portrait Gallery. The IMDb reports that she has one film in her filmography. lt was released in 1905. This pretty portrait of Miss Rowlands was published by Raphael Tuck & Sons as part of the Glosso Postcard Series (No. 5709) and the \"Celebrities of the Stage Series\". The writer of this postcard used only one word to describe Gaynor. That word is \"Lovely\". There is no doubt about the date that this postcard was written and sent. Not only does the postmark reveal that this card was mailed in 1905, but the writer wrote the same date on the front of the postcard. The card was mailed from Hounslow, a borough of London. This postcard is in good condition (see scans). .
