ADAH ISAACS MENKEN
Adah Isaacs Menken (1835-68), an American actress, became famous by playing the part of Mazeppa in which she rode on stage on horseback. The costume she wore made her appear nude.
I have a collection of 19th century actress photographs including stereoviews. I have also done a significant amount of research on the life of Adelaide Neilson and would enjoy hearing from anyone with a similar interest.
