Notes
In Ballou's pictorial drawing-room companion, vol. 8, no. 10 (Mar. 10, 1855), p. 160.
"Though Yankee girls are particularly well rendered by this lady, she performs well whatever she undertakes, her versatility enabling her to glide gracefully from one line of character to another. She is still, though out of practice, an elegant dancer, and both in figure and face fitted to adorn the stage. Mr. and Mrs. Florence are very happily adapted to each other, and we learn that in private life they are as much esteemed as they are popular in public."--P. 160.
Another portrait, depicting Mrs. Florence in character as the Dutch Organ Girl, appears on the same page.
