The Sarah Bernhardt Glove Gallery, Part 2
Sarah Bernhardt was during her lifetime, and still is in many quarters, considered to be the finest actress ever to tread the boards. Moreover, she was one of the great fashion trend-setters of her day. "The Divine Sarah", in fact, is the woman who is perhaps most responsible for popularizing the classic mousquetaire style of glove in America and Europe during the late 1870's and early 1880's. For the Love of Opera Gloves presents an extensive collection of surviving images of Mme. Bernhardt in the gloves she made an indispensable item of fashion around the world!
