Visions of Lady Feodorowna Sturt Baroness Alington who was the eldest daughter of Charles Yorke, 5th Earl of Hardwicke. Living from 1864 to 1934, if all she did was pose for these two photographic portraits that was enough for a lifetime. I found her (and the second image here) in the jewelry themed Instagram of Carol Woolton.

Lady Feodorowna Sturt, later Baroness Alington, née Yorke (1864–1934). February 14, 1900 image. She is in costume for The Masque of War and Peace, written by Louis N. Parker, music by Hamish MacCunn, and organised by Mrs. Arthur Paget in aid of the Widows and Orphans of the Household Troops, followed by the concluding Patriotic Picture of Great Britain, her Colonies and Dependencies, arranged by Percy Anderson, music by Sir Arthur Sullivan, Her Majesty’s Theatre, London, 13 February 1900. A fundraiser like today’s GoFund Me in other words but not a theatrical benefit as then you’d have professional actors and actresses taking the parts. Presumably it was staged in London. The Lafayette Studio, 179 New Bond Street, London, W, photographers. via http://lafayette.org.uk/stu2259d.html

On a voyage to see how much mileage I can get from the creative ability and eye for images that my family thought was useless. On line art curator, fiction writer and now blogger. Historian's daughter. Follow me . . .even I have no idea where I'm going next.
