Celebrity photographer Benjamin Falk of New York City shot this charming cabinet card of the great American actress/singer with her young daughter, Dorothy Lillian Solomon (later Russell), circa 1890. Dorothy was born in 1884 to Russell and her second husband, Edward Solomon. Solomon turned out to be a bigamist and that was that. Russell would marry four times and have a passionate long-term relationship with Diamond Jim Brady. Small marginal stain to the mount, else fine condition…plus; "Lillian Russell" brand cigar box, circa 1920s with colorful chromolithograph inner and outer labels showing Russell in her prime. Fair condition with wear and some lifting to labels.
