historyfan: Coco Pearl taken by Andre Disderi. 1854. This photograph just stood out to me; it just has such character. Boy did Coco too! She was a legendary courtesan during the mid to late 19th century. For the most part in France where she managed to bring many of the wealthy elite come under her spell.
