Descripción

Photographie,vintage cdv albumen print - Fanny Mary Whitehead was an English actress in the mid 19th century. She was also known, after her marriage as Fanny Bernard-Beere, and Mrs. Bernard Beere. Fanny was born October 5, 1851 in King's Lynn, Norfolk, England. She was the daughter of Francis Wilby Whitehead, who was listed on the 1861 England census as an "Artist and Picture Dealer". Her birth was the result of an affair - it is family lore that her mother was a housekeeper who died shortly after her birth, but it is unknown who this woman could be, since Francis Wilby didn't seem to have any servants. Francis Wilby Whitehead's wife, Elizabeth Jane Jarrold, left him in 1855 because of "his drunkenness and other causes" (adultery) and took her children, except for their son, Francis Wilby, Jr., and emigrated to America. In the 1861 England Census, he is shown as living with his common law wife, Mary Elizabeth Linford, her son James, Francis Wilby, Jr., and Fanny Mary. Francis Wilby Whitehead died in 1862, when Fanny was just 11 years old. // Circa 1885 // CDV, tirage albuminé, 6 x 10.5 cm, vintage albumen print // Format (cm): 6,5x10,5.
