Magda, a captivating character brought to life by Sarah Bernhardt in Hermann Sudermann's play "Heimat" at the Lyceum Theatre in London, 1895. The image of Magda, from the German play "Sudermann," is depicted in various forms - a lithograph of her scene with Colonel Schwartze during The War, an engraving of Bernhardt's performance at Daly's Theatre, and an advertisement for Le Magda women's corsets in 1910. The symbol of solidarity, a hammer and sickle entwined in barbed wire, adds a poignant touch to this collection. The fleet of steamers hired by the Government as transports to convey troops to South Africa during the same era is also represented in a lithograph. Fast forward to 1934, Magda resurfaces in a painting by Fall, and later, in the 1930s, King Carol II of Romania is seen with a woman named Magda. A fascinating journey through time and art, this collection brings to life the enigmatic character in various forms and contexts.
