Description | Lady Constance Stewart-Richardson |
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 leaving the theatre after one of her performances. 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 informed readers that Lady Constance's object in going on the stage was to raise funds to found a school for boys where her special theory of education would be carried out.
