EDITORS COMMENTS
Mabel Grey, whose real name was Annie King, was a renowned Victorian courtesan in London during the late 1860s and early 1870s. This photograph, taken around that time, showcases Mabel's allure and elegance that made her a popular figure in high society. With her cascading ringlets framing her face, Mabel's hairstyle was a popular choice among women of the era. Her plaited hair, styled in tight curls, was held in place by a delicate choker adorned with a large cross. Mabel's neckline was accentuated by a beautiful necklace, adorned with intricate jewels that added to her regal appearance. Her ears were adorned with elegant earrings, and a stunning brooch in the shape of a butterfly graced her chest. The sepia tones of the photograph add to the historical charm, transporting us back to a time of opulence and extravagance. Mabel Grey was known for her charm and charisma, and her beauty was said to have captivated many a wealthy gentleman. Her presence in London's high society was a topic of much gossip and intrigue, and she was often the subject of scandal and speculation. Despite the controversy surrounding her, Mabel continued to live her life on her own terms, embodying the spirit of the Victorian era's complex and fascinating courtesan culture. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the world of Mabel Grey, a woman who defied the conventions of her time and left an indelible mark on history.
