Légende

Madame Ristori, at the Lyceum Theatre, 1856. Italian actress in London stage production. 'She...has the advantage of youth and superior beauty. Lamartine, indeed, describes her as "naturally and mentally beautiful;" to which an English critic adds - "a tall commanding figure, features cast in the finest mould of classic beauty, a deep blue eye, so expressive as scarcely to require the aid of a voice which, without being loud, seems to have every feeling and passion upon its scale". Such are Nature's gifts to Madame Ristori for the theatre. The English public, however, have now an opportunity of judging of the accomplished actress for themselves...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
