Description
Not much is known about Klara (also Clara) Karschin. She toured Germany and Austria together with her husband Gustav Karschin in the first half of the 19th century and specialized in mimoplastic art, theater performances, where actors depict works of art, particularly classical subjects.
She was born in northern Germany. The Prussian Provincial Newspaper in 1854 (Preussische Provinzial-Blätter, Volume 6, 1854, pp. 15-16) mentions Clara came with her husband from Lübeck and entered the stage very young. She had an ideal figure and was very quiet, eventually specializing in “pantomimic representations”.
The audience, attending the performance advertised on our broadside, was kindly asked to keep especially silent.
