Illavara the Egyptian.
Carte-de-visite
photograph of this circus entertainer at
the approximate age of 20.
New York: Charles Eisenman, circa 1880
[300/400]
We have no idea just what Illawara or
Illavara’s act might have been aside from simply
displaying her rich, full “Afro”—whether she
sang, danced or was, like many of the circus acts
of the day, simply to be viewed.
