Olga Nethersole's Version of Sapho is set apart by its star billing: the actress's name leads, ahead of the source, which was Alphonse Daudet's 1884 novel about a Parisian artist's model and her lover. Nethersole, an English-born actress, toured her own stage adaptation in the United States around 1900, and the production drew police attention in New York for its frank content, which led to her arrest. theater posters of this period relied on costume and styling to suggest a play's setting and mood, so the dress shown here is worth reading as a sign of the story's Parisian bohemian world.
