| Details |
Lady Constance Stewart-Richardson (1883-1932), British dancer and author, society figure, dancer and promoter of the healthy benefits of exercise. Pictured at the time she was appearing as a professional dancer for the first time in London with a stint at the Palace Theatre. The novelty of an aristocrat taking to the stage to perform artistic dances made Constance a subject of much interest among the illustrated magazines of the time. The Tatler lists her various interesting traits to include keeping snakes as pets and her ambitions to found a school for boys in Scotland 'where an active form of physical development shall be one of the principal items in the curriculum.'
