A fine example of a signed exhibition-quality image of one of Minna Keene’s most famous of images, taken at her home in Cape Town. Using her young daughter Violet as the model, she created an iconic Pre-Raphaelite image, combining the beauty of a young girl with nature. This image was included in the famous Tate London Exhibition in 2016, *Painting with Light* alongside Julia Margaret Cameron, Millais, Emerson, Goodall, Hacker, Rossetti, and others. In 1911, “Pomegranates” was awarded Picture of the Year at the London Photographic Salon. [quoted from source]

Als Teenager: Anita Berber 1917 mit der neuesten Hut-Kreation.

Hutmodell und Stilikone: Neben der Arbeit als Tänzerin verdiente Berber Geld als Foto-Model, unter anderem für Hüte und Kleider. Mit zunehmender Popularität avancierte Berber zur Stilikone, der ganz Berlin nachzueifern versuchte: “Verderbte Bürgermädchen kopierten die Berber, jede bessere Kokotte wollte möglichst genau wie sie aussehen”, schrieb Schriftsteller Klaus Mann.

As a teenager: Anita Berber in 1917 with the latest hat creation.

Hat model and style icon: In addition to working as a dancer, Berber earned money as a fashion model, among other things for hats and dresses. With increasing popularity, Berber became a style icon that all of Berlin tried to emulate: “Depraved middle-class girls copied the Berber, every cocotte wanted to look like her as closely as possible,” wrote writer Klaus Mann.
