Irene Vanburgh. The Original Gwendolen Fairfax.

Irene started acting professionally after Lewis Carroll, a friend of her father, saw her and recommended her. She made her London début in December 1888, playing the White Queen and the Knave of Hearts in a revival of Alice in Wonderland at the old Globe Theatre.
