French actress (1844–1923), known as ‘The Divine Sarah,’ who became one of the most revered personalities ever to grace the stage. Original sepia 4.25 x 6.5 cabinet photo, by Nadar of Paris, of Bernhardt in the title role of La Tosca, standing over the corrupt official she has just murdered, signed and inscribed in fountain pen in French, and dated 1887. In very good condition, with scattered light soiling and spotting to image and border, a small fingerprint to lower right, and scattered surface marks. La Tosca opened in 1887 in Paris, so it is probable that this photo was signed during the original run. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
