Cleo de Merode (1875 - 1966), by Felix Nadar , 1905

Revisited my directory full of downloads of Cleo de Merode's vintage photos.  Colorized another, first is this from French Photo journalist Felix Nadar in 1905. To those who don't know, Cleo (Cléopatra Diane de Mérode) was the most photographed woman in Europe during her prime, the equivalent of a supermodel today, and enjoyed similar acclaim as a fellow Frech beauty Bridgette Bardot. To know more about her, just Google her name and there are countless resources on her.
